Autogenerated Rust bindings for libpq
This repository contains direct, one-to-one mappings to the C functions provided
in libpq-fe.h and postgres_ext.h. This library expects that libpq be
installed on the system.
The build script of crate will attempt to find the lib path of libpq using the following methods:
- First, if the environment variable
PQ_LIB_DIRis set, it will use its value - If the environment variable isn't set, it tries to use pkg-config to locate it.
All the config options, such as
PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS,PKG_CONFIG_ALL_STATICetc., of the crate pkg-config apply. - For MSVC ABI builds the build script will attempt use the library from a
vcpkg installation if there is one available.
You may need to set VCPKG_ROOT (or run
vcpkg integrate install) and runvcpkg install libpq:x64-windows. - If it still can't locate the library, it will invoke the Postgres command
pg_config --libdir
The build script instructs Cargo to link the library statically if the environmental
variable PQ_LIB_STATIC is set. This can be useful, if targeting for a musl target.
If pkg-config is being used, it's configuration options will apply.
This is caused when the output of pg_config --libdir is a directory that also
contains libjpeg.dylib which differs from the system libjpeg. This is usually
caused by install postgres via homebrew, or using postgresapp.com.
If you've installed via homebrew, you should not see this issue unless you've
provided features = ["pkg-config"]. You can work around the issue by exporting
PQ_LIB_DIR="$(brew --prefix postgres)/lib".
If you've installed postgresql using postgresapp.com, you will not be able to
run your binaries using cargo run or cargo test. You can compile the binary
manually via cargo build and then run /target/debug/yourapp. You can also
manually create a directory that contains only a symlink to libpq.dylib and
nothing else, then export PQ_LIB_DIR to that directory. It is recommended that
you do not use postgresapp.com.
