You still have to set up your system, add appropriate permissions to the account under which ipc-daemon2 will run, install ipc-daemon2 as a service, etc. See the README. But yes, now you can just point and click to download and unpack (I won't call it "installing") cygipc. > In the documentation of Postgresql (at least 6 > months ago) the author had written that he would compile against > CYGIPC untill cygipc is part of the Cygwin packages ... I think he said that he would continue to build postgresql against cygipc until cygipc's *replacement*, cygserver, went "gold" -- regardless of whether cygipc was distributed via gatech.edu or via the "normal" cygwin mirrors. So, yes, postgresql still needs cygipc -- only now, it's easier to obtain. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
