Hello, I'm trying to compile a libpq program under Debian 3.1r2 with these packages installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep postgres ii postgresql 7.4.7-6sarge2 object-relational SQL database management sy ii postgresql-cli 7.4.7-6sarge2 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-con 7.4.7-6sarge2 additional facilities for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-dev 7.4.7-6sarge2 development files for libpq (PostgreSQL libr ii postgresql-doc 7.4.7-6sarge2 documentation for the PostgreSQL database ma That program compiles and works fine with OpenBSD and Cygwin (I'm using PostgreSQL 8.x there though...) On Debian it unfortunately doesn't link: $ gcc build/pref.o build/message.o build/pgsql.o build/user.o build/util.o build/table.o build/common.o build/array.o build/xstring.o build/strlcpy.o build/strlcat.o build/daemon.o -o pref -L /usr/lib -L /usr/lib/postgresql/lib -lpq build/pgsql.o(.text+0x15b): In function `db_prepare': server/pgsql.c:57: undefined reference to `PQprepare' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status $ pg_config --version PostgreSQL 7.4.7 $ pg_config --libdir /usr/lib $ objdump -x /usr/lib/libpq.a | grep -i PQprepare 00000000 *UND* 00000000 pqPrepareAsyncResult 00001974 R_386_PLT32 pqPrepareAsyncResult 00000490 g F .text 0000007d pqPrepareAsyncResult 000012e5 R_386_PLT32 pqPrepareAsyncResult 0000130a R_386_PLT32 pqPrepareAsyncResult 00000000 *UND* 00000000 pqPrepareAsyncResult 00001841 R_386_PLT32 pqPrepareAsyncResult There are very few hits for the "undefined reference PQprepare" on Google (which I take a good sign :-) Does anybody have an idea please, what could I be doing wrong? Why doesn't objdump find PQprepare, but finds PQconnectdb? $ objdump -x /usr/lib/libpq.a | grep -i PQconnectdb 00000000 g F .text 00000042 PQconnectdb Thank you Alex PS: And here is the code failing to link (my server/pgsql.c) probably nothing special: #define DB_CONN_STR "host=/tmp user=XXX dbname=XXX" #define SQL_FETCH_USER \ "select username, user_avatar from phpbb_users where user_active = 1 " \ "and user_id = $1 and user_password = $2 and user_id not in " \ "(select ban_userid from phpbb_banlist where ban_userid is not null)" ...... static void db_reconnect() { PQreset(conn); if (PQstatus(conn) != CONNECTION_OK) { warn("Connection to db '%s' failed: %s", DB_CONN_STR, PQerrorMessage(conn)); sleep(RETRY_INTERVAL); return; } db_prepare("sql_fetch_user", SQL_FETCH_USER, 2); } void db_prepare(const char *stname, const char *query, int nparams) { PGresult* res; res = PQprepare(conn, stname, query, nparams, NULL); if (PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK) { PQclear(res); db_disconnect(); die("Preparing statement '%s' failed: %s", query, PQerrorMessage(conn)); } PQclear(res); } ...... -- http://preferans.de ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
