I have a FPC project using libpq from which I need to remove all dynamic linking. I found the FPC option to accomplish this, but cannot come up with the static libpq library.

libpq (or libpq5) distributions contain libpq.so (.*) but not a libpq.a or libpq.o

My attempts so far to create a static libpq library myself have failed. No surprise given I am a makefile and gcc novice.

Does anyone have a static libpq library they could easily send me?

I need one that will work on 32-bit Debian, and a 64-bit Ubuntu version would be a bonus.

I can use either libpq version 4.x or 5.x

I searched the web extensively before asking here.

Please excuse the subject not directly being Lazarus.

Thanks!

I'm not sure where you can find them but if you get the sources, try compiling with -static or -static-libgcc and you should get some .a in the binary output folder.

Note that just "-static" might end up still depending on libc, with "-static-libgcc" you MIGHT end up with a pure static solution (will be quite big I gather).

If you are in Debian, try this (as root) :

apt-get install libpq-dev
