Foreword

This article records the use of vs for source code compilation, the compiled version is x64 bit.

Operation Center: windows 10

Compilation tool: vs2013

Download and install

1, open the URL:https://pgxn.org/dist/plpgsql_check/0.9.3/Click the icon to download the plpgsql_check plugin source.

2, download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (test through 2010 and 2013, only install C++ module)

New Project

1. Create a new C++ project, File -> New -> Project...

2, create a source file, click Source Files right -> Add -> New Items...

Copy the source code plpgsql_check.c into it, there will be some errors, don't worry, slowly fix it later.

3, copy the plpgsql_check_builtins.h file under the source file to the include file under pg

My path is: D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\include

Project configuration

1. Add x64 bit program configuration. The default vs. win32 configuration. Select Release, click Configuration Manager...

Select the Win32 drop-down box and click Add. Select x64 bit and click OK.

Right click on the project name -> Click on Properties, select the Release in the Configuration drop-down box in the upper left corner and select x64 bit.

Note: The names here can be customized and can be added in Configuration Manager. Different names represent different project configurations.

2. Select Configuration Properties -> General and set the "Configuration Type" to "Dynamic Library (.dll)".

3. Select C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions -> <Edit...>, add the command WIN64

4. Select C/C++ -> Code Generation and set "Enable C++ Exceptions" to "No".

5. Select C/C++ -> Advanced and set "Compile As" to "C Code".

6. Select Linker -> Manifest File, set "Generate Manifest" to "No".

7. Select Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies and add postgres.lib to the repository list.

Import and library catalog

Now you need to add the required include directory.

1. Configuration Properties -> C/ C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories, drop the arrow to the right of the text box and select. Now, by pasting the path or selecting a folder, add the following folder to the PostgreSQL installation directory in the following order:

include\server\port\win32_msvc
include\server\port\win32
include\server
include

2, you also need to set the path of the library. Select "Linker" -> "General", in Additional Library Directories.

3, solve the source code highlight error

Here are a few grammatical errors, in fact, when copying the source code, accidentally copy the newline character, we open the source to see

Move these 3 "\"s to the previous line.

Click "OK". When the source file is returned, the error highlighting on the extension file should disappear.

Package build

1, right click project -> Rebuild

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unicode/ucol.h': No such file or directory

Double-clicking on this line of error will open the pg_locale.h file and find that there is a syntax error, but it is really less packaged, but less is not a PG package.

Need to install the ICU package under IBM. Portal:http://site.icu-project.org/download/62

Download ICU4C Binary Download, don't download the source code, because the source files are very scattered, and you need to import a lot of folders.

Introduced after decompression

2. Rebuild.

Found a package missing plpsql error, introduced plpsql.lib

Plpgsql.lib file, please seeWindows 10 installs PostgreSQL database plpgsql_check extension

3. Build again. Congratulations on your success.

use

1. Open the folder of the successful directory and rename the .dll file to the plpgsql_check.dll file.

2. Copy the plpgsql_check.dll file to PostgreSQL\10\lib.
