Re: LIBPQXX on Windows

Hi,

I also wanted a LibPqxx on my windows system. At the time I made the
decission I took the short route and used ODBC which worked fine when using
Acces, Omnis Studio and the Qt libraries.

I need the library because I want to write a Omnis DAM.

Hello,

I need to get LibPqxx up and running on Windows. I have a pgSQL client
which works fine on Linux and I need to port the baby to Windows. 1st
challenge was getting a port of 'popt' library which I used to parse cmdline
options. Now I need to get libpqxx up and running. Does anyone have any
experience in accomplishing this. If not, what do other people do to get
around this. Is there a more portable pgsql/C++ interface? I have MSVC 6.0
and can't seem to get the makefile to work. Is there a binary I can just
link with? Also where can I get the pgsql.dll which is required.

Any help would be appreciated. If I get no answer then I am busted on the
Windows platform and I will rue the day I chose to go with libpqxx. Is there
a ODBC driver for postgres on Windows? Maybe I can go that route? If so, my
Linux implementation will need some major tweaking.

Please help. I am hoping to have this solved by next week. I was really
hoping to get the application to start building this week, but this is
becoming a bit of a hinderance.

Thank you,
