Try to compile those as a standalone program. Observe the undefined symbols you get. Add other backend modules to your compile (or build stub versions). Lather, rinse, repeat until it links. I think 90% of what you'd need is replacements for palloc and elog. palloc can be turned into a simple malloc-and-check-for-failure, and elog can probably just print the message and exit. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
