Hi A.J., Googling around it appears as though I need libpq.a to link a client app against and then libpq.dll is only used at runtime. I'll download the full postgres installer this week and see if the liqpq.a file is included.
Any reason why you're using postgres and not postgres3? Postgres3.pp uses "external" instead of "linklib" and doesn't require libc. I've also found a regular OS X package (.pkg) for postgres. Thanks. -Phil -----Original Message----- From: A.J. Venter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun 6/3/2007 1:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [lazarus] OutKafe 5.1.0 Released ! Hi all, Can anybody help us here ? I actually have it linking on one machine, and not on another but for the life of me I cannot figure out the difference between the two machines. Can we document this somewhere ? When developing programs using third-party linklibs through lazarus/fpc units - where do you actually PUT the dll's ? I am also trying to determine the minimum number of libfiles that need to be shipped WITH the program - the libpq.dll in the svn tree came from pgadminIII - as an experiment, but I am affraid that perhaps you need the full set of libs that are included in postgresql - or at least a few more of them... but which ones, and where to put them in order to get lazarus to build with the package installed, and the app to link on windows ? /me really hopes for some good advice here.
