I am trying to build the Postgres drivers for Qt on Windows. I am consistantly running into a problem where the
Postgresfunction "errcode" conflicts with a typedef of the stame name (typedef int errcode). Has anyone else had this
problem? Has anyone solved this problem? Is there a better list to post this to?
According to the archives (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-05/msg01259.php), there is a patch applied
tothe 8.1 stable branch (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-05/msg01317.php) but compiling that branch
andbuilding with that does not fix the problem.
Version information:
Postgres 8.1, but I'd settle for any 7.x or 8.x
I have successfully installed the 8.1 version (binaries for windows), and I have also successfully built the
postgreslibraries from CVS source (REL8_1_STABLE branch).
Visual Studio 2005, Standard edition
Qt 3.3.6, Enterprise edition
Windows XP 2002 SP2
Cygwin
This appears to be specific to VS2005. VS6 plays well with Postgres 7.4, and VS.NET 2002 plays well with Postgres 8.0
The error message:

'typedef'

There were also other problems with missing header files and "configure" oddities but I worked around these.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
