Re: [GENERAL] C functions under windows
Andrei- *If you're developing under nix* then I would use windows cygwin (bash shell) e.g. \cygwin\cygwin.bat cd / find . -name strings.h you will see /usr/include but this version of strings.h only includes string.h to bring into environment make sure you include the /usr/include in .profile or .bashrc e.g. export INCLUDE=/usr/include:$INCLUDE (then run your compile/link/make utilties) HTH Martin-- This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.

Re: [GENERAL] C functions under windows
I have added the path to the include directory of postgresql but it hasn't already some of the files that are in linux include path like strings.h. It doesn't object about postgres.h which it can find now but it objects about strings.h I use MSVC6 to make my dll file.

You could try grabbing pg_config.h.win32 from src/include (I think it's available in the source distribution of 8.2, if not, just get one from a snapshot version). Then take that file and overwrite your copy of pg_config.h with it. strings.h is one of the differences between msvc and mingw. //Magnus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
[GENERAL] C functions under windows
Hi all I have postgresql server installed on a windows machine and I want to retrieve data using C functions. I followed the steps in the documentation but it didn't work for windows. I created a .dll projects for my functions but postgres.h calls .h files that I can't find on the windows machine like strings.h. I tested my functions on another server installed on a linix machine and it worked correctly. So the problem appears to be in the include files under windows. Any idea how to solve this problem...

Re: [GENERAL] C functions under windows
Are you building with the same compiler as the backend was built with? If you're using the binary distribution that means mingw unless you're testing the pre-beta snapshot Dave uploaded a few days ago. /Magnus --- Original message --- From: Islam Hegazy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5-2-'07, 19:30 Hi all I have postgresql server installed on a windows machine and I want to retrieve data using C functions.
