Re: [BUGS] PostGreSQL pgdac - C++ Builder 2007

Hi,

I am working with c++ Builder 2007, and try to work also with PostGreSQL.
I have downloaded the following exe,
http://www.devart.com/pgdac/pgdac11.exe

But i have an error while building,

[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'WSAIoctl' referenced from
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\CODEGEAR\RAD STUDIO\5.0\LIB\DAC105.LIB|CRVioTcp

Does someone know what this could be?

Thanks!

Is that Borland/Embarcadero C++ builder?

If so, I have to ask: *why*?

Which is http://www.devart.com/pgdac/ , apparently the "PostgreSQL Data
Access Components" for C++ builder and various other mostly RAD tools.

I've never seen or heard of it before, but I don't use these tools. It
doesn't come up on the mailing lists.

Nothing to do with Pg. You're better off asking somewhere specific to
C++Builder or specific to this "pgdac" tool.

Also, this is *clearly* not a PostgreSQL bug, just to make that
explicit. It's an issue in:

- most likely your code or build systems; or
- pgdac
- C++builder
- a compatibility issue between the two
- something funky in your OS/system setup

If you were reporting a PostgreSQL bug, you'd want to include things
like *version* *numbers*. See:

I'd say that's a good choice. They seem to have a support link on the
bottom of their site that points to forums they say they respond to
quickly. Try that.

BTW, if replying, please reply to the mailing list or use reply all,
rather than replying to me directly.
