Hi Lance, If it helps, the MSVC libpq import library is included with the standard PostgreSQL 8.1 Win32 installer available from www.postgresql.org. On the installation options page, select Development, Library Files and then enable the MSVC++ Library Files option.

The Mapserver make file requires a version of the Postgresql client "libpqdll.lib" which is where I'm stuck. I've got the Postgresql 8.1 source but have not been able to create libpqdll.lib using VC++. (seems like a problem with linking in appropriate winsock definitions). As an alternative, I have been able to compile a static version of libpqxx (2.5.5), but haven't been able to get it to link into Mapserver. I've noticed that others are having similar problems, but I've yet to find a solution. I've used pre-built versions of Mapserver (MS4W and FWTools) sucessfully with Postgresql 8.1/PostGIS, so I know it is possible. If anyone can provide any insight into this problem, I would be much obliged. Perhaps I should be using a different compiler? (Mingw?) thanks, Lance Goode
