but what you want to do is quite simple: ...

Hm. The only reference in Makefile.pl to libpq the following which comes after WriteMakeFile() has been called, and is used to check if it was detected (It is; I get no errors):

my $output = WriteMakefile(%opts); if (!exists $output->{EXTRALIBS} or ($output->{EXTRALIBS} !~ /\-lpq/ and $output->{EXTRALIBS} !~ /libp +q/)) { my $makefile = exists $output->{MAKEFILE} ? "\nRemoving ($output->{MAKEFILE})\n" : ''; warn qq{ ========================================================== WARNING! No libpq libraries were detected! You need to install the postgresql-libs package for your system, or set the POSTGRES_LIB environment variable to the correct place. $makefile =========================================================== }; ## Do not let make proceed unlink $output->{MAKEFILE} if $makefile; exit 1; } exit 0;

And the only references to the key LIBS in %opts as passed to WriteMakeFile() are these:

LIBS => ["-L$POSTGRES_LIB -lpq -lm"], ... elsif ($os =~ /Win32/) { my $msdir = $POSTGRES_LIB; $msdir =~ s{"$}{/ms"}; $opts{LIBS}[0] .= " -L$msdir -lsecur32";

So, I guess the "subtle point to my question" is how (and where/when) does -lpq get manipulated to cause it to add the reference to -llibpq?

On the basis that it EU::MM might simply generate references to all .libs it finds in the directory denoted by $ENV{ POSTGRES_LIB }, I tried placing a copy of libpq64.lb there, but it is ignored. As are the other .lib files that are located there: postgres.lib, libpgport.lib; libecpg.lib;.

So, something, somewhere, is telling EU::MM to generate references to libpq.lib, but I cannot see where or when that is occuring.

The second part of my question was how to automate the choice of whether to use libpq.lib or libpq64.lib. Your pseudo-code above neatly dodges both parts of that question.

  • What goes inside your running_on_64bit()?

    Ie. How to reliably determine that the target is X64 (on Windows).

  • Where in the makefile.pl would I position your pseudo-code?

    Given I can't see where libpq.lib is being referenced (other than in the post-facto test), it's hard to see where I would incorporate your code.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
