compiling gdal with postgresql support against the postgresql 8.1 development files included in windows binary postgres package fails

[dolf.andringa@…]

When I try to compile gdal 1.4.0 on windows with postgresql support, the compilation fails. Using the standard nmake.opt the compilation does not give any errors. When I set PG_INC_DIR = "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\include\libpq" and
PG_LIB = "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\lib\ms\libpq.lib" wsock32.lib 
I get the error that libpq-fe.h could not be found. I did install all development files of postgresql during installation. "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\include\libpq" does contain libpq-fs.h, but not libpq-fe.h. When I rename libpq-fs.h to libpq-fe.h I get syntax errors (see below).

For compilation I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and the Microsoft Platform SDK.

I made a mistake in the nmake.opt file. I couldn't find the libpq-fe.h but I wasn't looking thouroughly. Sorry. These are my nmake.opt lines:
PG_INC_DIR = "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\include"
PG_LIB = "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\lib\ms\libpq.lib" wsock32.lib
