Thread: Static library for libpq?

Is there a way to build a static library for libpq, 7.1.3?
When I checked only the Win32 version gets a static as well as a dynamic
library. (i.e. Unix boxes only get the .so's)

Is there a way we can change the config files to force a static library?

Thanks in advance, I'm using Solaris Forte compiler if that matter...

That claim...besause I did it.  I use the cc compiler from Sun Workshop I'm
not sure if that's what is causing it..

If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough brute force.

On what do you base that claim?

$ ls ~postgres/testversion/lib
libecpg.a        libpgeasy.sl.2@  libpq++.sl*      plpgsql.sl*
libecpg.sl*      libpgtcl.a       libpq++.sl.4@    pltcl.sl*
libecpg.sl.3@    libpgtcl.sl*     libpq.a
libpgeasy.a      libpgtcl.sl.2@   libpq.sl*
libpgeasy.sl*    libpq++.a        libpq.sl.2@

Looks like plenty of .a's to me on this HPUX box ... also, a cursory
look at Makefile.shlib shows the static library is built and installed
on all non-Windows platforms.

Static libraries are always built by default.
