I am working on bindings to libpq for the R programming language. For windows I need to build libpq.a as a standalone static library (using mingw-w64) that I can link into the client application. I have done this for many other libraries (e.g. libmariadbclient) but I am having difficulty generating a static library for libpq. So the goal is to create a version of libpq.a that I can link to my application together with libssl.a, libz.a, etc, and which does not depend on external postgresql shared libraries: g++ -s -static-libgcc -o rpq.dll myapp.o -lpq -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lz -lws2_32 However by default the libpq.a gets built as a 99kb import library that depends on libpq.dll (which depends on several other dll's...). What I need is a static version of libpq.a (or perhaps multiple static libraries) including the full implementation of libpq. Based on some posts in the mailing list archives I tried using: --disable-shared --enable-static=libpq However with no luck: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-shared, --enable-static Is there something I can pass to configure to create the full libpq static library? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
