postgresql and NT

HI piq,
Someone has written instructions for installing postgreSQL on Windows 2000, but this should work just as well on windows NT 4.0 service pack 5 or 6.
If you want to install a beta native windows version of postgreSQL, you might give this a try:
You might be able to get postgreSQL installed using the following link. You would only need to install cygwin.com and CygIPC. Then follow the instructions to install postgres.
Here is yet another set of instructions and links. This one look like it might be good.

I have tried following the instructions in the first link, but when I try the "./configure", I get an error. The error says that C compiler can not create executables. I am trying to install this on a Windows 2000 platform, and I do have .NET installed on this computer. Do I need a different compiler installed for C? If so, what would be the best to install.
Hi,
I downloaded and installed a windows native version of Postgresql 7.2.1 by Peer Direct. The install was a snap. I was also able to set Postgres to run as a service under windows XP pro by run a provided .exe. This is really great as it is not necessary to unixify your windows OS with cygwin with this distribution. Also, performance is better.
The install is not glamorous, as it consist of a zip file. There is no use of the windows registry. All paths and postgres variables are configured using the window system environment variables dialogue. You can download the distribution from the following link which include a complete set of instructions.
I can hardly wait for the forthcoming windows native release of Postgresql due out with the release of Postgresql 7.4 .
