Hmm, yes I'm seeing that in the IDE as well. It's probably because we
recently moved the driver from the main PostgreSQL CVS to it's own. I
need to check the instructions for compiling in the IDE - unfortunately
I don't have time right now.

It does work from the command line though:

nmake /f win32.mak CFG=MultibyteRelease (for the Standard driver -
PostgreSQL)
nmake /f win32_30.mak CFG=MultibyteODBC30 (for the ODBC3 driver -
PostgreSQL+)
nmake /f win32_30w.mak CFG=Unicode30 (for the ODBC3 Unicode driver -
PostgreSQL+ Beta)

Checkout CVS tip from
:pserver:anonymous(at)gborg(dot)postgresql(dot)org:/usr/local/cvsroot/psqlodbc
(password: anonymous)

Hack away, then use vc++'s nmake as described above to build. Check the
top of the makefiles for other build options (debug).

Patches in diff -c format please :-)

Regards, Dave.
