Thread: Cannot compile libpq for Win 32 Environment

I'm using Postgresql 7.3.4 on Red Hat Linux 9, everything works fine.

I'm trying to compile Postgre client for Win 32 plattform using VC++ 7 compiler
running following command under src directory:

nmake /f win32.mak ALL

When make is executed, following error occurs:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 7.10.3077
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
       link.exe @D:\Temp\nm3D.tmp
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'odbc32.lib'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link.exe' : return code '0x49d'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"P:\Program
Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v1.1\Bin\nmake.e
xe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I don't know if some libraries are missing, but I don't know what files are
missed.

I appreciate some help.

Best Regards.

If you're using libpq, you really shouldn't need the odbc library.

Well, obviously it can't find odbc32.lib.  But that probably doesn't
matter!  Just edit your project's link options and take this name out
of the list of libraries.  Then try again.
