Thread: bcc32.mak for libpq broken? (distro 8.0.0)

Dear libpq programmers,

src\interfaces\libpq> make -f bcc32.mak

fails with the message

'".\Release\win32.obj"' does not exist - don't know how to make it

Please, help.

With love, Gabor

Hello.

Guys, sorry that use your private mails.

It seems that I found error about bcc32.mak

The thing is that libpq\bcc32.mak and \psql\bcc32.mak waits that make
will be executed with -N option, but it is not. Why not? For this we
must look at \src\bcc32.mak

>>===============
...
ALL:  cd include  if not exist pg_config.h copy pg_config.h.win32 pg_config.h  cd ..  cd interfaces\libpq  make
-DCFG=$(CFG)/f bcc32.mak # This line executes make without -N option  cd ..\..\bin\psql  make -DCFG=$(CFG) /f bcc32.mak
#Thisone too  cd ..\..  echo All Win32 parts have been built!
 
...
>>===============

I changed these lines to such view and all seems OK:

make -DCFG=$(CFG) -N /f bcc32.mak

Please, tell me if I wrong cause I'm not so familiar with C. I am
Pascal developer.

And one more question. make executes and then I have sush error
message:

Where or how can I get it? Thanks in advance

Yep, I just added -N to that file.  I had forgotten it was there at the
top level.  The fix will be in 8.0.X.  Add them to all the 'make' lines,
including the 'clean' ones.

Now that seems strange.  Don't you have libpq.rc in your
src/interfaces/libpq directory?  I do, and the make build works fine. 
Have you tried running the bcc32.mak directly from the interfaces/libpq
directory?  Maybe that would help.
