Hi folks
Im using the latest qt and im able to create linux apps and cross compile windows apps on a linux ubuntu system. But now i need my windows app to access a postgresql database that is running on an external linux box. so i added the following to my .pro file
unix:LIBS += -lpq
win32:LIBS += libpqdll.lib
a database connection works ok when compiling for linux but im getting this error when i compile the app for windows.
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-mingw32msvc/4.4.2/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lpqdll.lib
I know i probably have to download the lib or build the lib from source. Where would i find this library? or do i search for it on the mingw site and just download it and place it in the proper location? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
