Обсуждение: libpq and Mac OS X

Is it possible to link C apps with libpq under OS X?
I've seen discussion of it in the archives, but there seems to be no 
solution.

Since my last Powerbook G3 died (which had wide OS support), my new 2004 
Powerbook G4, which only accepts OS X well* is what I have as my 
portable development environment.

*(Debian doesn't see the HD; NetBSD doesn't see the keyboard; Gentoo 
installs, but {doesn't seem very reliable, seems to need lots of system 
tuning}; and YDL--who knows anymore?)

Certainly it can be done.  All the PostgreSQL client apps use libpq, so
you can look at the compile line used by psql or pg_dump.  We are
working on making it easier in 7.5.

That's right! I didn't even think of looking at the file that deals with 
compiling psql (which works). The source files have helped shade in the 
gray areas, in the past.

Thanks.

Don't let the smooth face fool you.

Okay. I had been using an abbreviated compile command to deal with the 
libpq libraries on my Linux machine. It worked fine on Linux, but failed 
on Mac OS X. (Looking at the make files hinted at this.)

Looking back at libpq-build.html and using the commands in their 
intended form, my stuff compiled on OS X (and Linux), no problem.
