FAQ:
This is apparently a common problem.

Yes, CYGWIN, the environment variable is set to server and file/dir
permissions are set for the user and have r/w permissions.

initdb or pg_ctl initdb -D $DBDIR -l $DB_ADMINLOG
I just downloaded and tried to build and install Perl's Database
Interface, DBI (yes the hard way, using Marefile.PL).
Configure completed fine, but make fails with:
make
gcc-4 -c-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -g
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3
The database MariaDB looks good. It does have a windows version
available, but I, like others would prefer to learn it on a Posix
system like cygwin if at all possible.
The only information I could find matching MariaDB and cygwin as at
least a couple of years old as I recall. Has anyone

I don't agree. The solution should not be to install an unnecessary
package and waste space and complicate by having to check order in the
PATH variable.
It would be better that a.) installation scripts check for the
existence of the necessary commands first and not brute force the
installation
