Thread: libpq with SSL on VC 2010

Hey libpq-fans,

i have question compiling libpq on windows (VS2010 32 and 64bit) with SSL support.
I downloaded the latest source of 
postgres http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v9.2.2/ and also the OpenSSL Win64 v1.0.1c
http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html.
 
I ran nmake in libpq folder:

> cd postgresql-9.2.2\interfaces\libpq
> nmake /f win32.mak CPU=AMD64 USE_SSL=1 SSL_INC=C:\OpenSSL-Win64\include SSL_LIB_PATH=C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib

Then the compile ends up, that he can not found bufferoverflowU.lib.
Searching a bit i found out, that this lib is deployed with the windows SDK and since VS 2005 not needed anymore (see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2242665/vista-win-7-sdk-bufferoverflowu-lib-linking-error).
 
So in libpq's make file (win32.mak:20) i commented out the line 
20> ADD_SECLIB=bufferoverflowU.lib 
and it compiles fine. I also didn't get any troubles testing this libpq with ssl, yet.

Do I need to have a bad conscience droping bufferoverflowU.lib from the build or is it just because the makefile is not
forVS 2010? 
 
(Btw: openssl has changed thier names of libs to *MD.lib respectively  *MT.lib in VC folder. The old named libs are in
C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib,one dir up)
 

Can someone tell me if bufferoverflowU.lib is required in a VS2010 build?

Cheers,
