Thread: Windows Library for libpq
Hello Thanks for all the reponses yesterday for my queries regarding moving from MySQL to PgSQL. As I see there is no native port of POstgresql for Windows. My applications is being developed in Windows primarily due to better editors. We are using wxWindows cross platform toolkit to develop the application. I searched the site....but i couldnt find a link...where can I get compiled libraries for libpq and its coreresponding header files for Windows.

How could you?..:-) I mean I dual boot into linux so that I can work thrice as fast as windows. Kate is what rocks.. Try KDE. I don't think anything on windows holds a candle to it.. > I searched the site....but i couldnt find a > link...where can I get compiled libraries for libpq > and its coreresponding header files for Windows.

Thanks. Well this decision is taken by manager not me :) Anyway, our product is cross platform version so I have to compile it in Window...I need the Windows library..

I would rather not put it inside the OLE DB project, as it doesn't really bear any relation to it. In any case, Karam, I'll uptload it to my project and let you know on this list. In the mean while, http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/install-win32.html has instructions on how to compile it yourself. -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Systems Consulting http://www.lingnu.com/

A. Please reply to the list as well.
B. The link I sent you does not require cygwin, and will in fact work
better without cygwin.
Like I said before, I will compile it and post it, I just think it's the
wrong place to put it. I will let you know when I did that.

That will not, however, do you any good for compiling, as it contains the runtime DLL, not the headers and link time libraries. On the other side, the readme that comes with the project has some links for how to create this library yourself, in a pretty straight forward way.
