Re: Using libpq 8.4 with PostgreSQL 9.1

Hi Bruce,

I attempted to compile libpq with two different versions of the Borland
(Embarcadero) bcc32 compiler.

The free version of bcc32.exe (ver 5.5.1) produces the following output:

MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland

The latest version of the bcc32.exe (ver 6.40) which ships with C++ Builder
XE2 produces the following output:
