You should build your extension with the same version of VC++ as the Pg server was built with anyway, and at the moment that means 2005 if you're using a stock binary distribution. Otherwise you may encounter problems with mismatched C runtime libraries, resulting in exciting problems with memory management, file handles, and other things. IIRC Pg's use of palloc() should actually avoid the problems with memory being allocated in one DLL then free()'d in another, but I'd still be wary. >> c:\program files\postgresql\8.3\include\server\c.h(97) : fatal error >> C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libintl.h': No such file or directory >> >> I must be doing something wrong - I don't even have a libintl.h on my >> drive... For some reason the Pg binary distribution doesn't include the headers for gettext, despite the public backend headers requiring them. (IMO it really should). I actually landed up making a dummy libintl.h since I wasn't actually linking to or using any of the gettext functions, but it'd be much better to have the correct headers - as noted below: > libintlh. is part of gettext, which is a dependency from the binary > version of pg.
