compiling c function using MinGW

Hello

I am trying to build some functions using C language. these functions are mentioned in the postgresql documentation.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/xfunc-c.html

Datum
add_one_float8(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
/* The macros for FLOAT8 hide its pass-by-reference nature. */
float8 arg = PG_GETARG_FLOAT8(0);

PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(arg + 1.0);
}

PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(makepoint);

Datum
makepoint(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
/* Here, the pass-by-reference nature of Point is not hidden. */
Point *pointx = PG_GETARG_POINT_P(0);
Point *pointy = PG_GETARG_POINT_P(1);
Point *new_point = (Point *) palloc(sizeof(Point));

new_point->x = pointx->x;
new_point->y = pointy->y;

PG_RETURN_POINT_P(new_point);
}

the only function that are work are the one with int32 variable.
the other function bring errors and are not working
any body can give directions

kind regards
ihab

Re-send to pgsql-general.

Can you paste these errors and how you're compiling this?

You aren't including the path of the libs when you compiling (option -I).

don't send to comitters please, send into pgsql-general.

Thanks.

this is how i write the command in MinGW any more direction about I. I am a new user for MinGW
gcc -shared -o hamzeh.dll tt1.o -L "c:/programme/postgresql/8.3/lib" -lpostgres

Dear Sir

I am trying to build some functions using C language. these functions are

mentioned in the postgresql documentation.

the only function that are work are the one with int32 variable.
the other function bring errors and are not working
any body can give directions

here are the code and the error , i compile them using vc++ 6 and VC++ 2008 and minGW the example below are for minGW

These error messages are certainly not what you saw on the screen.
It is best to copy and paste error messages!

If you want to have Point, you'll have to
#include "utils/geo_decls.h"

The "invalid lvalue" errors are generated because gcc does not
know VARATT_SIZEP and assumes it is a function returning int.
I recommend that you always use gcc with -Wall to see warnings!

I can find no VARATT_SIZEP in the PostgreSQL 8.3 headers.
Where did you get that from?

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

I think it's depreciated and he should be using SET_VARSIZE instead ...
