Обсуждение: Installing minimal client libraries on Windows
Apologies for this old chestnut, but I think it's a question more often asked than answered. If I want to install a minimal binary libpq.dll on a non-developer machine to support Lazarus/FPC programs, where do I get it? I definitely don't want to tell the users to install a full server, or to build from source. I'd rather not give them pgadmin or psql. I'd prefer not to install ODBC since I need to get at listen/notify that it doesn't support. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]

You can extract it from the precompiled ZIP archive that EnterpriseDB provides. Yours, Laurenz Albe

Thanks, but in the end I installed ODBC as the path of least resistance and relied on the OS knowing where the DLLs were. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]
