You should be able to compile, but not link the backend.

But it does not ! At least not with current snapshot.

src/Makefile.global:276: src/Makefile.port: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `src/Makefile.port'. Stop.

I can see the line:

config.status: linking ./src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 to
src/Makefile.port

when running configure, but Makefile.port is not created !
I'll try to figure out what hapened (Maybe I am doing something wrong).
Also I would like to know does it have any sense to try it to compile it
now, or we are waiting some big patch from someone. Maybe I can help in

some

part ? (have Win2000)

Regards !

Ok, here is what hapened : I have cygwin in the path !!! In the config log

I

found whole bunch of links to cygwin including gcc.
I'll try to remove it and do the whole thing again.

Regards !

I removed the cygwin from path, but it does not help !
It looks like "ac_config_links" does not work with win2000 (MinGW-2.0.0.3),
because none of the :
src/backend/port/dynloader.c
src/backend/port/pg_sema.c
src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c
src/include/dynloader.h
src/include/pg_config_os.h
src/Makefile.port
are not created(linked)
Acording to autoconf manual ac_config_links: "Makes a symbolic link if
possible, otherwise a hard link."

After manualy linking files with :
ln src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 src/Makefile.port
ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.c src/backend/port/dynloader.c
ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.h src/include/dynloader.h
ln src/include/port/win32.h src/include/pg_config_os.h
ln src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c src/backend/port/pg_sema.c
ln src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c

it compiles !

I asume that this is not error in postgresql makefiles, but some problem
with minGW.
I'll try to figure it out, maybe question to minGW list would help.

Regards !
