Yes, we need to create and register a tiny DLL to avoid to have error
message joined to our log message such as describe Dave in it's previous
mail.
By studing the works made by Claudio, a simple way to achieve this work it
to create a message wich contains only %1 like the mc file i'am attached
with this post, and to modify a little bit the write_eventlog function he
made (4 parameters of ReportEvent have to change to 0 with 0x00000001L or
PGWIN32_EVENTLOG_MSG in my sample).
To obtain a DLL, we need Microsoft MC Compiler to create a RC file and after
we can finish the compilation with Msys tools.
for Visual Studio users :
mc EventLogMsg.mc # produce one rc file and one .h file
rc -r -fo EventLogMsg.res EventLogMsg.rc
link -dd -noentry -out:EventLogMsg.dll EventLogMsg.res
for Msys :
After obtain a .RC file with MC compiler
windres -o EventLogMsg.o EventLogMsg.rc
dllwrap --dllname=EventLogMsg.dll --driver-name=gcc EventLogMsg.o
To finish, we have to register the DLL in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application
Create a entry name PostGreSQL, add a key EventMessageFile set it with the
full path of the DLL
two issues : made this job by setup program or by write_eventlog() itself.
Do you know, where will be the right place to put these files and
update/create a Makefile
