Hi,
Im having link problems and need help.
I have: Windows 7 64 bit installed postgresql-9.0.5-1-windows-x62.exe installed Visual c++ 2008 Express Edition set c/c++->additional Include Directories (seems to be ok as it compiles if I remove the PGconn and conn lines from the program and only have the libpq-fe.h header. set Linker->General->Additional Library Directories set Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies (libpq.lib)
Previous on a different older laptop: Windows XP Postgress 8.4 and 9.1 installed Visual c++ 2008 Express Edition Same program and settings and it compiled ok against 8.4 and 9.1 Also had Eclipse with MinGW and it compiled ok against 8.4 and 9.1
So I dont know what I'm doing wrong ... and Im sure its something stupid buts its driving me crazy.I saw a similar post by "Roy's Email" but there were no responses. :(Roy, did you fix your problem?
