Hi all-

I am up and running. Not only am I building libpqxx projects but also U++ dialogs with PostgreSQL now.

I did NOT use the bundled mingw with all the prebuilt paths for that self contained environment.

Easiest way for me is to use windows without mingw and then put in your own paths, libs, and includes.

I saw one person go to great lengths to convert the .lib file in the self contained environment to a .a file.

I realized that if all that is involved is converting a .lib to a .a. file then just use my own PostgreSQL that I actually built from source with mingw because it has a .a file already.

For some reason with bundled mingw it gave me fits!

I am very excited that U++ supports mingw and so does PostgreSQL!

Please don't pull support for these great tools.

We can't use firebird in mingw anymore because they dropped support per the user group at yahoo for firebird.

I am very lucky that you all support this for my hobby.

have a very cool weekend.

thnx roboloki
