If I strip it down to no optimization 32-bit COFF (YUCK) and point "ld" to ./src/port/libpgport it works: $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. <snip> Success. You can now start the database server using: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data or /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 & [1] 377052 $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test CREATE DATABASE $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test Welcome to psql 8.0.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
