Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm attempting to compile Mapserver with support for PostGIS
(Postgresql 8.1) using Visual C++ 7. The Mapserver make file
requires a version of the Postgresql client "libpqdll.lib" which is
where I'm stuck. I've got the Postgresql 8.1 source but have not
been able to create libpqdll.lib using VC++. (seems like a problem with
linking in appropriate winsock definitions).<br>
<br>
As an alternative, I have been able to compile a static version
of libpqxx (2.5.5), but haven't been able to get it to link into
Mapserver. I've noticed that others are having similar problems,
but I've yet to find a solution.<br>
<br>
I've used pre-built versions of Mapserver (MS4W and FWTools)
sucessfully with Postgresql 8.1/PostGIS, so I know it is
possible. If anyone can provide any insight into this problem, I
would be much obliged. Perhaps I should be using a different
compiler? (Mingw?)<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
