Thread: ODBC on NT/cygwin Installation

Hello,

I've finally gotten 7.0.3 installed and running on NT4.0 Workstation/cygwin
combo. I'm now trying to get ODBC up and running. (I did "./configure
--with-odbc") Unfortunately, the docs seem to not be geared towards getting ODBC
running directly on the NT platform. How do I get things set up right so the
Postgresql ODBC driver shows up in the ODBC Manager?

You must download and install the PGSQL ODBC Driver separately. There are
links for downloading it on the PGSQL site. Configuring with ODBC just
activates support within PGSQL for using ODBC drivers, but doesn't do any
installation of drivers.

That is false on all counts.  The driver is included in the distribution
and should get built and installed when you configure for ODBC.  There is
no such thing as "support within PGSQL for using ODBC drivers".
