[Qgis-user] Postgres dependency on mac build

[John Abraham]

I'm trying to build the "diagram" branch on MacOSX Leopard.  I  
followed the instructions in the docs, and did get it compiled and  
running.  I'm pretty proud of myself since I haven't programmed in C  
for a decade or so (java programmer now.)

Except there is one problem.  The Postgres stuff wasn't found by  
cmake, so there was no Postgis support in my build.

So I tried to set up cmake to find my postgres.  I found the file  
FindPostgres.cmake and found that it uses environment variables, so  
tried to set those using -D options to cmake.  Now it won't compile at  
all, with the following error.  I do have a libpq-fe.h in /usr/local/ 
pgsql/include.  I didn't make Postgres from source, just installed it.

Thanks for any help,
