Hi all, Next phase of zybacafe has come upon me, the win32 port of the client (and possibly the admin tool).
Two major challenges came up instantly: 1) PG reccomends UTF as db encoding - but I know lazarus doesn't like UTF-8 very much on windows right now - what is the reccomended approach here ? 2) PG for windows is installed and running, including the libraries. However when I try to install the zycafelibs package (which uses postrgresql) lazarus fails to build: ld cannot find libpg (or maybe pq can't see) I tried copying the dll's from the postgres lib directory into c:\lazarus, into c:\windows\system32 Not being a regular windows developer - I am affraid I'm stumped now. How do I tell lazarus that postgres is there - and where to find the libs ? 3) Finally - presumably this means I will need to include the postgres libs with the app, or alternatively at least make sure the app can find them from an installed base - how do I do this ?
