libpq not working - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

Hi.

I tried to play a little bit with libpq on windows (the postgresql
server is running on a Debian/GNU Linux box, version 7.1.3).

So i eventually compiled libpq with mingw (i got the Makefiles from
Gerhard Häring and modified them a little bit (in 7.1.3 there is no
md5.c or i didn't find it)). Then i tried to comile and run the
following program:

------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libpq-fe.h>

int main() {
  PGconn *con = NULL;

  con = PQconnectdb("host=mauzi.home hostaddr=10.0.1.2 port=5432 dbname=testdb user=xxxx password=xxxx");
  if (con == NULL) {
    puts("ERROR: con is NULL!");
    return 0;
  }
  if (PQstatus(con) == CONNECTION_BAD)
    printf ("Connection failed!\n %s\n", PQerrorMessage(con));
  else
    puts("Everything is OK! Connected.");

  PQfinish(con);
  return 0;
}
------------------------

On Linux everything works fine and i got "Everything is OK!
Connected." But on windows i got the following (compiler commands
included):

---------------------------
C:\Eigene Dateien\dbtest>make
gcc -g -Wall -ansi -pedantic -Ic:/dev/inc -I.   -c -o t.o t.c
gcc -g -Lc:/dev/lib -o t.exe t.o -lpq -lwsock32

C:\Eigene Dateien\dbtest>t
Connection failed!
 connectDBStart() -- socket() failed: errno=0
No error

---------------------------

The test program is small and simple, so i assume the problem is
libpq. But where is the error? I used the plain postgresql-7.1.3
sources and the following Makefile (i copied
./src/include/config.h.win32 to ./src/include/config.h manually):

---------------------------
# Makefile for compiling a native win32 libpq with GNU tools (GNU make)
# =====================================================================
#
# To build an optimized non-debug library, simply compile with
# $ make -f mingw32.mak
#
# To cross-compile from FreeBSD/Linux/..., compile with
# $ make -f mingw32.mak PREFIX=i386-mingw32msvc-
#
# To build the library with debugging support, compile with
# $ make -f mingw32.mak OPT=-g LDOPT=
#
# To build the library with multibyte support, compile with
# $ make -f mingw32.mak MULTIBYTE=1
#
# You can combine any of the above.

I'm not very experienced with windows-developing and i'm absolutly
clueless, so any hints and tipps are very welcome.
