The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 6486 Logged by: Tomasz Ostrowski Email address: tomet...@batory.org.pl PostgreSQL version: 9.1.2 Operating system: Fedora Linux 16 Description:
Fedora MinGW is a project which allows for easy cross-compiling of Windows binaries and libraries on Fedora Linux - much easier than with native MinGW on Windows - just use "./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 && make" and you're done. I'm using it to easily compile "libpq" and "libpqxx" for a C++ project. I can compile PostgreSQL just fine using this but without OpenSSL support. When I try to compile with OpenSSL on Windows Postgres expects to link with libeay32.dll and libssleay32.dll, which aren't there, but ignores that there are dll's for standard "crypto" and "ssl" libraries available. To reproduce: 1. Download Fedora LiveCD iso from http://fedoraproject.org/ 2. Run it in a virtual machine - for example: qemu-kvm -m 2048 -cdrom Fedora-16-i686-Live-Desktop.iso You can also burn it to a CD-R or install it to a USB Thumb-drive using "livecd-iso-to-disk" script included in this image, and start a physical computer with it, but a virtual machine would be easier and faster. 3. Download postgresql-9.1.2.tar.bz2 to /tmp/ 4. Run using "System Tools\Terminal": su -c 'yum -y install mingw32-gcc mingw32-openssl gcc' cd /tmp/ tar xf postgresql-9.1.2.tar.bz2 cd postgresql-9.1.2 ./configure --with-openssl --host=i686-pc-mingw32 Result: (...) checking for CRYPTO_new_ex_data in -leay32... no configure: error: library 'eay32' is required for OpenSSL I've attached a proposed patch for configure.in - it uses AC_SEARCH_LIBS instead of AC_CHECK_LIB on Windows. With this patch and after autoreconf (I needed also to remove "autoconf 2.63 is required" check from configure.in): ./configure --with-openssl --host=i686-pc-mingw32 && make completed successfully and a working binary and libpq.dll using libcrypto-10.dll and libssl-10.dll was created.
