Thread: Simple way to connect from Win32 app

Hi!
I am looking for a simple way to build an application on Windows - complied
with VC++ 6. I have read, that there are many problems with the libpq++ -
just under Windows :p
I dont want to use ODBC - so i hope, u can show me a HOWTO or a way, how to
build such an application :)
I have a FreeBSD machine - so is possible to build libpq.dll for Windows?

Thanks!!
michael (noob)
sorry for that  bad english :)

Have you looked at the new C++ interface, libpqxx?  Visual C++ 6.0 has 
some problems with that, but it may just do what you need.  And even that
compiler will do the job if you upgrade it and enable a workaround macro
in libpqxx.

Take a look at http://pqxx.tk/

Hi Michael,

If you download the source, there is a win32.mak file in
/postgresql-7.3./src/interfaces/libpq

This can be used to make a vc6 project that will build both a static and a
dynamic version of the libpq library.

You will have to make minor modifications to some of the header files in
other folders, but these are obvious from the build messages.
