Help needed with compiling postgre sql with mapserver

[rock well]

Hi fleuren the reason i dont want to use hobus mapserver is i guess it doesnt have the support for mrsid format and also sde libraries which i already have configured using the conventional mapserver. i was able to get rid of these error and was able to create the libpadll.lib but i wasnt able to create the libpq.dll file as it gave me the following error 
   
  libpq.lib(fe-connect.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _SHGetFolderpath
  .\Release\libpq.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
   
  and the execution stopped ..... 
   
  i guess someone might have encountered this problem, if so can you give me some tips to solve it .....
   
  If you dont mind fleuren can you send me the libpq.dll as an attachment as thats the only file i need to get going ....
   
  Thanks a lot for your help ....

  Hi Kris,

I did feel lucky that the compile did not end with the word Stop.
I'm afraid experience problems like this now with the ECW library.

Maybe try the very rich .\bin directory of
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/mapserver-4.8.3-msvc71-build-kit.zip 

this is a set for msvc7, so probably, issues on vc6
