Hi all,
I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this
question. Please let me know if it isn't.
The psycopg mailing list would be a better place to ask.
I am trying to install psycopg2 in my windows machine for
connecting with the PostgreSQL server.
Since there is no binary executable*, I am trying to build my own
- and I am facing this issue.
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lpq
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
I've never installed psycopg on Windows but this issue comes up from
time to time on Unix-based operating systems. The psycopg installer
uses the pg_config application to figure out where everything is. If
it can't execute pg_config (due to permissions or the fact that it's
not in the path when you run setup.py), then the installer makes some
best guesses at where things are. If those guesses are wrong, compile
and link steps can fail.

After a little bit of googling, I found that this can be solved
by -L<directory name> while linking - but I am not specifically
linking the code. Rather, I am installing by doing the following -
python.exe setup.py build
python.exe setup.py install
So, I cannot find a place to include the -L option too.
Can somebody help me on this? I have been investigating this for
the last 4 days - and now I cannot see any further way out.

Raj
*p.s -> I did find one binary in
http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/index.html#Version2
.
But the licensing is GPL and I wont be able to use it (I am doing
coding for proprietary systems)
