-**XXX** WIP (previous version worked fine for shared libraries, trying to get static libraries working)+Both the C and C++ interfaces build fine "out of the box" (except for the ''LDFLAGS'' issue mentioned below) when building shared libraries.
  
-http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.3.9/+There is a problem when building static libraries, though.  The C interface uses the Win32 SSPI authentication interface (''secur32.dll'').  This library is //not// linked in by default when linking statically, and the Makefiles don't know that.  Furthermore, any configure script that uses ''AC_CHECK_LIB'' or similar instead of ''pg_config'' to look for ''libpq'' will also need to link with ''secur32.dll''.  There are two solutions: either fix the Makefile and all downstream consumers, or disable SSPI.
  
-There is a bug in ''src/template/win32'': it sets ''LDFLAGS'' unconditionally.  Change this line:+Keeping SSPI means a little more work right now (to build ''libpq'' and ''libpqxx'') but potentially less pain down the line (as long as downstream consumers use ''pg_config'' and / or ''pkg-config'' so you don't have to specify ''-lsecur32'' manually).
  
-  LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition"+Another issue is that ''libpq'' includes its own implementation of certain POSIX or BSD functions that are missing on Windows, such as ''inet_aton()''.  This can conflict with other libraries (e.g. FFmpeg's ''libavformat'') which also include their own private copies of these functions.
  
-to this:+==== libpq (C interface) ====
  
-  LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition"+PostgreSQL includes its own implementations of certain functions which are not available in Win32, such as ''inet_aton()'' and ''strlcat()''.  Unfortunately, so do the [[ffmpeg|ffmpeg libraries]].  We resolve this conflict by using macros to transparently add a ''pq_'' prefix to each of these functions.
  
-Next, open ''src/Makefile.global.in'', search for ''-lws2_32'', and add ''-lsecur32'' at the end of that line so it looks like this:+**NOTE:** The PostgreSQL developers have [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.devel.general/137878|stated quite unambiguously]] that they do not support static linking and will disable it completely in future releases.  If / when that happens, it will be necessary to link ''libpq'' (and possibly also the ffmpeg libraries) dynamically.
  
-  ifeq ($(PORTNAME),win32) +First, get the latest source (currently 8.3.9 for the 8.3 branch) from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.3.9/ and extract it in a convenient place. 
-  LIBS += -lws2_32 -lshfolder -lsecur32 +
-  endif+
  
-Take care to edit ''src/Makefile.global.in'' and not ''src/Makefile.global'', as the latter will be automatically regenerated from the former. +Next, apply the patch below.  The easiest way is to just ''cd'' into the source directory and type 
 + 
 +  $ patch -b -l -p0 
 + 
 +then copy & paste the patch.
