Hi
I'm running postgres v6.5.3. I need to make calls to
the functions in libpq in my code. For this I need
the
files - libpq.lib/libpq.lib.dll/libpqdll.lib.
When I run 'nmake /f win32.mak' in the src
directory,
it is unable to open/find config.h . If I use the
config.h generated as a result of 'configure' on
cygwin, it complains about other .h files not being
found. (I do not know if there is a way to do the
equivalent on the DOS Shell/Command Prompt )
Could anyone let me know how to build libpq to get
libpq.dll/libpq.lib/libpqdll.lib ?
Thanks,
Rini
ps : The administrators guide has a chapter on this
which I followed. (But it mentions Postgres v6.4 ?!)
Here is an extract :
Chapter 20. Installation on Win32
Table of Contents
Building the libraries
Installing the libraries
Using the libraries
Build and installation instructions for
Postgres v6.4 client libraries on Win32.
Building the libraries
The makefiles included in Postgres are written for
Microsoft Visual C++, and will probably not work
with
other systems. It should be
possible to compile the libaries manually in other
cases.
To build the libraries, change directory into the
src
directory, and type the command
nmake /f win32.mak
This assumes that you have Visual C++ in your path.
The following files will be built:
interfaces\libpq\Release\libpq.dll - The
dynamically linkable frontend library
interfaces\libpq\Release\libpqdll.lib -
Import
library to link your program to libpq.dll
interfaces\libpq\Release\libpq.lib - Static
library version of the frontend library
bin\psql\Release\psql.exe - The Postgresql
interactive SQL monitor
