AFAIK, we don't support ecpg with MSVC, only with MingW. Meaning it hasn't been verified to work. But it should be Ok to generate LIB files from the DLL and use those - just not tested. I don't see why it shouldn't work...
If it does work we should consider adding MSVC import libraries in the MSI build. Dave - we do this for some other package already, don't we? //Magnus > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce Momjian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 8:49 PM > To: Tom O'Connell > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [BUGS] BUG #1319: Windows LIB file libecpg.lib > not in build or package > > > Is there some problem with using ecpg on Win32?
