Thanks for acknowledging my efforts.

What precisely do you mean by "libpq.dll"? Do you mean the straight Win32
version of libpq, the PostgreSQL front-end C library? If so, then you can
find a pre-built (with MSVS 6.0) but *untested* tarball at the following:
http://members.home.net/jtishler/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.1.2-1-win32.tar.gz
By "using Cygwin/gcc" do you mean Cygwin's gcc -mno-cygwin or Mingw
mode? If so, then it should be possible but I don't know of anyone who
has done it yet.

I have compiled and successfully tested libpq with mingw, including ecpg support. See my
posting on psql-cygwin and mingw-users on july 2nd.
Binaries are at ftp://midgard.berlios.de/pub/midgard/
Of course unix sockets are not supported under MinGW, you have to use TCP/IP.
Yours
Christof

I actually read that email, but was on vacation at the time, so it went
right out of my mind -- those pesky holidays and vacations getting in
the way yet again! :,)
I have reviewed your patch. IMO, only some of it would be accepted into
the mainline source by the PostgreSQL development team. However, I feel
that your work is important and a very good start.
Would you be willing to take this to the next level? First, you would
need to make a new Mingw Makefile (src/makefiles/Makefile.mingw) and port
header file template (src/include/port/mingw.h). Then, diddle with the
autoconf stuff to select these new templates. Finally, you would need
to convince make to just build the Mingw build-able stuff.
BTW, when reviewing your patch, I noticed a hunk against config.h. Did
you configure under Cygwin first and then make your changes? If not,
how was config.h generated?
I would be willing to review your patches before you submit then to
pgsql-patches.
Jason

I'm heading for four weeks holiday in 8 days, so I'm quite busy with paid work
+ preparing things ...

Brrr. I hate platform specific Makefiles. Once somebody changes the master
Makefile you have to port every change yourself. (As happened e.g. with glib!)
Usually I prefer either short build scrips (calling make, patch, install etc.)
or plain autoconf/automake. But if it's usual within Pgsql, it will be the way
to go.
Perhaps later (September). I meant my mail as a 'It's possible, I made it this
way' message.

Oh, I knew. I simply didn't go that far.
Since I'm maintainer of some other OSS projects I don't have too much free
time, perhaps someone else wants to step in the gap?
Christof
PS: The port was done on a MinGW cross compiler on an iBook (debian PPC).
PPS: I took cygwin out of the CC list since it get's more internal to pgsql.
