Hello,

I have CYGWIN running on my NT system and I am trying to compile postgres
and install it and get an error with GMAKE. I have looked and looked but
can not find it anywhere.

I also do not have the Windows Visual C++ and can not afford it :-)

Can anyone Please help????

Showing the error would be a start. You probably want to use PostgreSQL
7.1, since it has been known to install much easier on Windows.

Currently I do not have a copy of GMAKE. The error is that it does not
exist and I can not find it from GNU.

If you are using CygWin, you do have GNU make on your system. It may just be
called 'make' (gmake is usually juts a symlink to make). Otherwise, you may
not hav ethe correct path setup.
