You can avoid this by building your own libpq.dll using mingw/msys if
you like - that will work just fine with a VC++ built server.


Hi Dave,
Just some thoughts on the whole libpq.dll thing.

It would be really nice from a client distribution view of things to have a libpq.dll that was not so dependency heavy. For the 8.3 release the total amount of files needed to use things such as pg_dump.exe is close to 5mb.

maybe a light version of libpq.dll is needed, just the libpq and the open ssl dlls would be ideal, many times all that extra stuff is not needed just to run pg_dump.

Didn't there used to be a project on pgfoundry that built the client tools separate from the server build?


Just some thoughts,

Later,

Tony
