I'm trying to bundle postgresql + cygwin in a single distribution for my
clients. The goal is that a user can just extract the .zip file and run
postgresql there (ipc-daemon2 + pg_ctl start; initdb need not be done
because a zipped 'virgin' data dir will also be provided). Target
platforms are Win98SE and WinXP Pro. The target machines do not have
Cygwin installed.
It's pretty simple to do that. I just put all the files under
postgresql-7.4.1\bin\, including many Cygwin DLLs, several needed
commands like grep, basename, cat, chmod, sed, etc. And of course,
postgres.exe, postmaster.exe (which I copied from postgres.exe;
originally it was a symlink to postgres), and ipc-daemon2.exe.
However, ipc-daemon2.exe seems to always look for /tmp (which is
c:\cygwin\tmp). On Win98, it seems to be able to use c:\tmp if
c:\cygwin\tmp doesn't exist, but on WinXP Pro it can't.
Rather than creating c:\cygwin\tmp, can I make ipc-daemon2 put
MultiFileMsg* and MultiFileShm* in some other place?
