Hello, I've been trying to get a simple test program built on Windows XP
Pro SP2 using MinGW 4.1.0 + MSYS 1.0.10. I am using the standard
"postgresql-8.0.4.zip" download with the development libs selected
during install.
Everything builds nicely, but whenever I try to do a PQconnectdb with an
IP address (hostaddr=10.0.0.23), I get the following from PQerrorMessage:
--
could not create socket: The requested service provider could not be
loaded or initialized.
(0x0000277A/10106)
--
And when I try it with a host name (host=testdb), I get the following
from PQerrorMessage:
--
could not translate host name "testdb2" to address: Unknown host
--
BTW, the computer can resolve testdb2 to 10.0.0.23 just fine... Any ideas?
Here is the output of my build script (as created by Eclipse 3.1 + CDT 3.0):
