No server and no server utilities. Just libpq. As shared dynamic library. In the past what I did was to grab the 9.6 version and build the libpq with simply run nmake. I never needed to use Release version as I was working with Debug one. However couple of days ago I needed to build Release version of my software and so that's what I tried. Unfortunately building Release version resulted in the linking error I was mentioned in the OP. Debug version was working fine. Then I realized that there is a mismatch with the versions on my Windows and Linux machines and as I tried to stay with the same version around different OSes, I tried to get 17.4. But unfortunately I was not able to build it easily with just nmake as in the past because now it requires to install many other unrelated software. I have no idea why the Release build failed on 9.6. But Debug one worked for years So then I thought about creating MSVC project for building libpq as a dependency. All I need is to produce a basic default build of both Debug and Release builds of libpq only. No server and no ther software needed. Prefer to build version 17.4. I have MSVC 2017 on Windows 8.1. This setup was working fine with libpq Debug version 9.6 I hope now it's clear Let me know if it's not.
