Static build of libpq fails

Dave Page wrote:

Hi,

I tried building a static libpq with Mingw, which it seems doesn't work
any more:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `libpq.a', needed by
`all-static-lib'. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/cvs/pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cvs/pgsql/src/interfaces'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cvs/pgsql/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I can work around this easily enough, however it should obviously get
fixed at some point.

I got it working easily by doing 'gmake all-static-lib' from the
src/interfaces/libpq directory. Is it supposed to work somewhere else?

The attached patch adds some pg_config_paths.h dependencies that are
missing. I am now wondering if we should have that file generated by
configure, but that defeats the ability to modify Makefile.global to
change settings so I guess we are stuck with what we have currently.

$ ./configure --disable-shared; make all

Will fail (and still does with cvs tip). I normally use that on Linux -
I assume it should also work on Mingw.

I was able to reproduce the failure, and the attached applied patch
fixes the problem. Seems someone just disable the libpq.a make rule in
Makefile.shlib, probably because it didn't used to work, but it does
now. I am not sure about Cygwin but our build experience so far is that
if it works on Win32, it works on Cygwin, so I enabled it for both.

Yup, looks good here on Mingw. Thanks Bruce.
