I was trying to compile a user-defined function in C (I am trying to compile one of the examples given in chapter 35.9 of the 9.3beta2 documentation) using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer.
C:\>cl /I "C:\postgres9.3beta2FI\include\server" /I "C:\postgres9.3beta2FI\include\server" /c "testFuncss.c"
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.50727.1 for x64

testFuncss.c
c:\postgres9.3beta2fi\include\server\pg_config_os.h(207) : error C2011: 'timezone' : 'struct' type redefinition
c:\postgres9.3beta2fi\include\server\pg_config_os.h(207) : see declaration of 'timezone'
c:\postgres9.3beta2fi\include\server\pg_config_os.h(216) : error C2011: 'itimerval' : 'struct' type redefinition
c:\postgres9.3beta2fi\include\server\pg_config_os.h(216) : see declaration of 'itimerval'
I noticed my problem was very similar to the following one:
The compilation then worked fine. I then tried to add my functions into my database using the command given in chapter 35.9
"CREATE FUNCTION add_one(integer) RETURNS integer AS 'DIRECTORY/funcs', 'add_one' LANGUAGE C STRICT;"
Upon doing this I received the error "could not load library "C:/testFuncss.dll": The specified procedure could not be found.
After searching Google for things that might evoke that error, I found out that the problem need not lie in the dll file itself but may lie in something the dll file is calling. I am wondering if the procedure lost relates to the structs commented out. If so, how can I compile the c file without commenting out the structs?
If not, what should my next step be in trying to add these functions?
Thanks,
Jake
