trying to use libpq in Ubuntu
Hello,
I have developed an application in C++ under Qt in Windows XP, now I would like
to port it to Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
Choosing the libraries in Windows was a piece of cake: the bottom of my Qt
qmake project file was
win32 {
LIBS += "C:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib\libpq.lib"
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\8.4\include"
}
linux-g++ {
LIBS += /usr/lib/libpq.a
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/postgresql
}
This works fine in Windows, but in Ubuntu there are more than a hundred
undefined symbols, like references to ldap
Does anyone have a sample project file or suggestions?
Thankyou
Henri

Try:
linux-g++ {
LIBS += -lpq
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/postgresql
}
Also make sure that you have the libpq-dev package installed.
Best regards,

If you are using Qt, why not use the Qt database abstraction classes?
That will save you having to compile directly against the Pg libraries.
