When working through my cleanup of the vc++ build scripts, I came across a handy feature. I originally thought it'd cut down the size of my scripts, and it does - but not very much. However, it might be handy elsewhere. I have no idea if this feature is available for other platforms/compilers.
For VC++ you can add a #pragma directive to the header files to direct the compiler/linker to link with a specific library. This could be used to automatically link with libpq whenever libpq-fe.h is brought in, and similar things for the backend (links to postgres.exe) and ecpg. (Naturally, there'd be a #define you can set to have it *not* do this, for special cases). That would make it even easier to build client and server projects - if you use MSVC++. What do you think? If it's good, I can incorporate it in the next version of the VC++ patch. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
