Hi PostgreSQL developers!
Some time ago we got the following bug report. Since libpq3-config is
a simple shell script that echo's the required libraries, invoking it
with --cflags does not make much sense. However, -lpq should be added
and the relative library path should be replaced by an absolute
_destination_ path (of the system installation, not in the build
tree).
Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day!
Martin

Package: postgresql-dev
Version: 7.4.3-3
Severity: normal
libpq3-config --libs gives:
-L../../../src/port -lssl -lcrypto -lkrb5 -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -lpthread
libpq3-config --cflags gives:
-L../../../src/port -lssl -lcrypto -lkrb5 -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -lpthread
Note both contain a relative path, the cflags output gives the same as
the libs output, and neither contains -lpq meaning applications will
still fail to link anyway.
Also, static linking appears to not work (unresolved symbols in the
kerberos stuff, even though the app I'm compiling doesn't even need
kerberos - is this related to bug 178214 ?)
