1.1) What do I need to install PostgreSQL on HP-UX?
! PostgreSQL 7.3 should work on Series 700/800 PA-RISC machines running
HP-UX 10.X or 11.X, given appropriate system patch levels and build
tools. At least one developer routinely tests on HPUX 10.20 and we
have reports of successful installations on HPUX 11.00 and 11.11.
Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make
(HP's make will not do), and either GNU gcc or HP's full ANSI C compiler.
If you intend to build from CVS sources rather than a distribution tarball,

! The FAQ for running PostgreSQL on native Win32 is at
! http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/FAQ_windows.html.
The native Win32 port is built from source using MinGW tools. There
is also a precompiled binary installer called pginstaller which you
can find at from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller. It is a
fully native build and uses no additional software like MinGW. The
! ready-made instlaler files are available on the main PostgreSQL ftp
servers in the binary/win32 directory.

update shortly.

Please do not duplicate information from the installation.sgml
"supported platforms" list into the FAQs. It's hard enough
to maintain that info in one place.
