* Compiling and linking a Program interfacing with libpq.dll

I am trying to compile, link and execute the first example in the
Postgres 8.1.1
manual using the libpq.dll library. Nothing I have tried works. I am
using
the free Borland Compiler 5.5. Can any give me the command line
parameters
for compiling and linking a C program using this compiler. I have
tried everything
I can think of, referenced the section 28.15 for compiling and linking.
Also I have
searched the archives and found nothing that helped.
Thanks!

I think you'll need to generate the import library first (the one
included only works for gcc). Anyway, I've experienced problems when
the programs are not linked against msvcrt.dll; if you should find
your programs crashing for no apparent reason, try to use mingw (with
which you won't need to generate an import library) or vc6 with the
/MD switch.

Thanks for your reply. I took me a while but, I am glad you
told me to rebuild the import library. Also the part about
linking against msvcrt was important. I was able rebuild
the import library using the bcc32.mak file. It did something
I didn't expect which was to create some of the new files with
a 'b' prepended to their names such as blibpq. Anyway in
the smalltalk compiler which I am using, it uses bcc32 to compile
primitives and I am now able to access postgres with the
methods I am writing.
Thanks again!
