Thread: Win32 Version numbering patch
I was hoping this would be in for beta 3, but alas - can someone *please* commit the win32 version patch at: http://candle.pha.pa.us/mhonarc/patches/msg00000.html With the correction at http://candle.pha.pa.us/mhonarc/patches/msg00001.html Without it we cannot reliably install files like libpq.dll on Windows!! Regards, Dave

To be fair, the patch for libpq.dll specifically was applied and is included in beta3 (I think), per http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2004-09/msg00275.php. That said, the other one is fairly badly needed as well... //Magnus

Yup, sorry. I was looking for the .ico file... Regards, Dave.

A patch that requires every executable-building Makefile to have a platform-specific wart isn't going to be very maintainable. You already missed pg_config, plus whichever of the contrib modules build executables... regards, tom lane

I assume anyone adding a new client binary will copy an existing one so I am hopeful the win32 version strings will be maintained. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
