There is no simple Makefile to do that, that's the problem. If you need
help with your particular setup you should show in detail what you already
have and precisely what problem occurred. If you're using the makefiles
from the PostgreSQL tree, I suggest you update to 7.1 and look into
src/interfaces/libpq++ for an example. Also make sure your functions are
using C linkage (extern "C"), otherwise PostgreSQL won't find them. And
avoid static constructors. In general, C++ shared libraries are a complex
area that is hard to get right.
