Linking against static libpq using Visual C++ - Mailing list pgsql-general

Dear PostgreSQL community,

When trying to compile c++ code including libpq against the static
version libpq.lib, Visual Studio 2010 gives me the following errors:

1>main.obj : error LNK2019: Unresolved external reference "__imp__exit"

Unresolved external references.

I've built my libpq.lib with Visual Studio and added the include
directories and libraries of PostgreSQL to the additional dependencies
of my visual studio project, but there still seem to be missing libraries.
How can I find out which libraries I need to add?

Regards,
Julia
