I am subscribed to pgsql-general, but not pgsql-ports.

Thanks,

to make libpg/(++) libraries?


Hi,

As the Subject line says, all I am looking to do is to make the libraries so
I can write some C/C++ postgresql client programs under Cygwin (under Win98)
using the GNU C/C++ compilers.  I guess I could use ODBC and MSVC++, but I
just don't want to get stuck in a rut.  I do not need to build any of the
server components, so I was hoping that the "configure" script would be
smart enough to produce make files that will make the rest of the package
with the necessary client libraries; however, it was clear as I was
monitoring the "make" output that I either need other libraries or I need to
restrict my "configure" options further.  The make encountered problems when
it started to compile "dllinit.c":

dllinit.c:49: warning: no previous prototype for '_cygwin_dll_entry'
dllinit.c:49: warning: no previous prototype for
'_cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry'

This either caused or was caused by the dlltool to fail with the
port/SUBSYS.o:

dlltool: port/SUBSYS.o: no symbols

I am guessing it was caused by an incomplete SUBSYS.o object created from
compiling src/backend/port/dynloader.c... but I have not taken a detailed
look.  I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction or tell
me what is missing.

Do I have the right package?  I seem to recall that there was some splitting
up of the package into 3 parts: client-only, server-only and common... but I
may be mixing that recollection with something else.

TIA,
Frank Shim

Why don't you just use the client side stuff that is contained in the
pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1rc4 that is part of Cygwin now?  Just point
Cygwin's setup.exe at your favorite mirror and update.

Thanks for the response, Jason... I think I will do that.

That was just what I was looking for, but I was looking for it in the 7.0.3
version.  I could have sworn I read something about a 3-way split into
server-side, client-side and common for 7.0.3, but I was obviously wrong.
Anyway, the 7.1 has been officially released so I am hoping that it is
stable enough for my purposes.

Anyway, in my search and re-search I noticed that there are some people who
have Cygipc facilities working on a Windows 98 platform.  As I understood
it, it was the IPC stuff - or rather lack thereof - that did not allow the
server side stuff to work.  Is this the case?

Most of my Cygwin PostgreSQL experience is under NT/2000.  Occasionally,
I have run Cygwin PostgreSQL under 9X/Me (mainly for academic reasons) and
it seems to work OK.  If interested, see the following for more details:
