Re: Compiling UDF DLL under Win32

hm, I'm still stuck: can't compile extension with mingw compiler.
I use Dev-CPP IDE (4.9.9.2) with MingW 3.7. Has it been tested to compile
extensions under XP with PostgresQL 8.1.2 ?

Al I get are compiler errors:

gcc.exe -c fd.c -o fd.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"  
-I"D:/.Work/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.2/src/include"  
-I"D:/.Work/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.2/src/include/port/win32"  
-I"D:/.Work/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.2/src/include"  
-I"D:/.Work/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.2/src/include/port/win32"  
-DBUILDING_DLL=1 -DWIN32 -DWIN32_CLIENT_ONLY=0
