Just as we use PGXS on *nix, so it is possible to just use Visual Studio to build the extension on Windows as a VS project like any other. > As long as the SDK is matched, the resulting plr.dll works fine > with the EDB one-click installer version of postgres (or at least > so far). The SDK shouldn't even need to match. Windows software is expected to cope with mismatched, mix-and-match C runtimes. Icky, but occasionally useful. So long as you don't pass a FILE* across DLL boundaries, or free() memory that was malloc()'d in another DLL, mixing runtimes should work fine. I'd be interested in knowing what problems you encountered when the runtime didn't match. Maybe it's specific to how we do build within a Pg source tree? I was able to use three different SDK builds against EDB's latest 9.3 packages - SDK 7.1 (x86 and x64), toolchain v90 (x86), and toolchain v100 (x86) - to compile and test a moderately trivial extension. - -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS01vxAAoJELBXNkqjr+S2zcoIAI75MetuO+osAlSOMdMDAgKh 7rqKu8VPyF2bjFVAiYdZOS9Yvlg3yZDzEG2JMbUSJOz3KtGIirZkIub8hgI4q4/W 6PBg5UZAiwK30AXILTqGBXio/Z+olbCPOKvcVv05OF4WExYLMek5Hc2SKy3UIudj HHvC10LkSeVvJvNj+rK7SUjQIpwa4a2+cc0gx87z7kd8ElVwJ3D/c1Eb3DM8mdsg KqIlmWkGolwnk1fb/JoabkO9XVvRjPgpj/aR9Ak6mUH7QTXGMqafdpPeCV9BhGRK d6MDDT3ncoEzHZd7GsKeqVWBFz9eZ7hLXiQR6rZ7bidvNVc4V7NnM2dr50uhoec= =pgpf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
