I am trying to build the Perl module in WINNT with VC++ 6.0.
Unfortunately, VC++ has reserved the work "keyword" which is defined in
libgg-fe.h:
typedef struct _PQconninfoOption
{
char   *keyword;
char	*envvar;
char	   *compiled;	
char	   *val;
char	   *label;
char	   *dispchar;	
int			dispsize;	
} PQconninfoOption;

I must not be the first to bang up against error.  Any hints?

Will it compile with the Borland 5.0 compiler?

Christopher,

Why don't you try compiling it with the Cygwin32 compiler...

(rolls eyes...)  Microsoft have never been too concerned about adherence
to standards, have they?

Unfortunately PQconninfoOption is part of the exported API of libpq,
so if I rename that field I can expect to break existing application
code :-(.  I'm not eager to do that.  If it were a strictly internal
change then renaming the field would be OK.

You might look at VC's compiler switches to see if it has a mode
where it actually compiles ANSI C++, and not some other language.
