Thread: Re: Win32 libpq : Static Link ?
I'm completely stuck with this issue. I just want to know if some Win32 developer has been able to links statically against libpq (using libpq.lib). Even if I apparently could compile the static lib, the program that try to link against still asks for a .dll. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Oliver.

I was able to link statically, but I have not tried VC7. I heard that VC7 enforces that you distribute the RT DLL with the app. Are you having troubles running the app on the machine you compiled on, or another machine? If the latter, then I believe you need to copy over msvcr70.dll as well. For VC6, these are the libs I had to link in to get it working (in addition to the standard ones): libpq.lib wsock32.lib MSVCRT.lib I'm not even close to being a Win guru, so I am not sure if this makes sense...I basically got it working by trial and error :) HTH, --brett --- "Oliver D." <oliver@inadd.com> wrote: > I'm completely stuck with this issue.

Basically, I've linked against libpq.lib normally. Bit my application still asks for "libpq.dll" (exactly). And I suspect the compiled .exe not include libpq since it is strangely light comparing my MacOS exe.
