s/OpenLSAP/OpenLDAP/. It may be better to look at what the installers of EDB do then for this purpose... I don't have a Windows VM at hand now to install or decompress this MSI, but my guess is that they use the LTS version of 1.0.2. > I think on Windows, you typically bundle the > .dlls with the PostgreSQL binaries, so it would be natural to bundle the > latest available libraries. Any sane Windows build would link to its dependent DLLs dynamically, meaning that you usually need a copy of the DLLs in both bin/ and lib/ as libpq also needs to be able to load them and those need to be on the same path as the library loaded (My Windows-bundling skills in this area are far from being top-notch, but I got bitten by such things in the past.) > And in the unlikely case that you'd want to use > older ones, you could still modify pg_config.h.win32 manually. That makes the life of installer maintainers a bit harder than necessary though. One idea to simplify things could be to introduce an extra, optional file whose contents are copied at the bottom of pg_config.h automatically. I am not sure that this is worth the pain, just mentioning the possibility. -- Michael
