[HACKERS] RE: [HACKERS] Kerberos V5 required for PostgreSQL installation on Windows
We should delayload this dll since it is only needed for specific configuration. No need to install when it is not used.

That is also a valid question, though. //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

We'd still need code support to figure out the DLL name from the import library so we can generate the command line correctly though. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Seems the krb5_32.dll name is quite stable though. Not sure if you can specify a list of anticipated names ? I'm not sure why Dann would see this problem - all our installers include the required DLLs, and they should also be in the Oh, didn't know that. I guess that shifts it to pilot error then.
