Please, re-read my response which answers this question. > The library for postgres is named libpg.dylib / libpg.so / pg.dll. No, it may be named anything, including this_is_my_custom_built_pg.lib. > You can setup this in the cmake build script equal to the include dir. I > think it is more consistent to use only pathes or only files. Discussion about that is out of scope of this list. Please, address the CMake list with questions about how CMake works. > IMHO it is consistent if I put to the include flag the <path to > postgres>/libpg-fe.h or a path to the library dir. > [...] You shouldn't expect consistency from two different tools, compiler (preprocessor) and linker. The former is implemented according to C/C++ standards. The latter is platform-specific tool for archiving binary libraries. Again, your questions with referece to compiler/linker has been answered on the CMake list.
