The compile works, BUT linking fails:

2.5\Release\psycopg\_psycopg.def -Lc:\python25\libs -Lc:
\python25\PCBuild -Lc:/p
ostgres/83RC2/lib -lpython25 -lpq -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -o build
\lib.win32-2.5\psy
copg2\_psycopg.pyd
c:\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lpq
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

if I google for the error

"ld.exe: cannot find -lpq"

there is allways the information that the lib-dir of libpq is missing;
but :

-Lc:/postgres/83RC2/lib

is clearly in the commandline, and within c:/postgres/83RC2/lib
there is one libqp.lib

What am I missing? any hints?

Best wishes,

Harald

I use psycopg2 all the time on windows. I use the binary installer
instead of source. Works great for me.

Are you sure using forward slashes in the path works here?

Not at all. But that commandline is generated by setup.py, not by me :
(
and setup.py extracts the paths from pg_config

so: I have no idea how to make it use backslash :(

Thanks for the idea,

Me2. Just in 7 out of 200 it does not work with the currently
available binary installer, on some startups, so I decided to follow a
recommendation out of the psycopg2 list to compile it from trunk :(
