1.13. Building Libpq Programs

To build your libpq programs for MzScheme, put the following line in them:

 
(require (lib "libpq-fe.scm" "libpq"))

(assuming you installed the collection as described below).

To build (i.e., compile and link) your libpq collection you need to do all of the following things:

• Unpack the collection into your collections directory:

  tar -xzvf libpq.tgz
  

• Check and possibly modify the pathnames in Makefile, using the utility pg_config, e.g. to find out where the header files are on the local system use:

  $ pg_config --includedir
  /usr/local/include
  

  and to find out the library directory use:

  $ pg_config --libdir
  /usr/local/pgsql/lib
  

• Just call make to compile the collection (it must be compiled, as it contains FFI code).

• You may check everything using test programs from test-libpq subdirectory.
