Thread: building pgsql-odbc from source without VC++
Does anyone have any experience in compiling the ODBC driver from source using something other than Microsoft's VC++ compiler? I would like to look into possibly working on the source code and offering packages, but don't have a copy of VC++. I was wondering if someone had any luck with using something like MinGW or DJGPP.

Wow I didn't realize that, thank you I'm just a Linux guy trapped in a Windows world these days. Also a possible addition to the howto compile pgsqlodbc page (http://psqlodbc.projects.postgresql.org/win32-compilation.html) might be to mention that the source for PostgreSQL 8.1 is required. I know this seems obvious, but for those of us using the odbc driver to connect to remote computers it's not so obvious :) Dave Page wrote: > > VC++ Express is free: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ > > Regards, Dave > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq >
