I am new to the product and in windows “postgres.lib” provides certain functions which we are using in windows for creating extensions.

Now I am porting the project to Linux and there no straight library with this name in Linux binaries packages.

 

Can someone please advise the equivalent library for postgres.lib in Linux?

 

I am not sure what this postgres.lib is, what are the functions you're using ?

libpq.so is the standard postgres client library.  it provides the PQxxxxxx functions documented here, https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq.html

or are you talking about the SPI_xxxxx functions used by C functions being called within postgresql ?
