Ahh yes. However, MS says.!
The last SDK that will work with VC 6.0 is the February 2003 Edition.
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
this SDK is newer and does not support VC6.:-(
Ooh. Wasn't aware of that :-( Now I see what you mean.
Yea, It is that there was nothing in public policy....
Ok. So there are actually two ways to go about it:
1) Discontinue support for MSVC6 and require MSVC8
2) Change it so that MSVC6 can still build libpq, just not with SSPI
support. This can be done by conditionally enabling ENABLE_SSPI, so it's
not that hard.
The question is, if we go with option 2, is it something that anybody
actually will *use*?
I desire 1 as formal. However, It contains VC7.1 and VC8.
Moreover, libpq.dll can be used by the module of VC6.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the original reasons we kept the win32.mak
method around after we had the "complete msvc build" was for the ODBC
folks. Are you saying that the ODBC guys are now happy with a MSVC8 build?
Yes, They are offered as comfortable environment. pgAdmin and that's right.!:-)
However, psqlODBC also contains legacy VC6. They will clear a problem by the
cause libpq.dll wire. Even if it may be adjusted from now on. probably.
Thanks!!
