Help on building psycopg2 on windows

hello,

I try to build psycopg2 on windows; now using mingw.

The compile works, BUT linking fails:

c:\mingw\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\psycopg
\psycopgmodule.o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\psycopg\pqpath.o build\temp.win32-

ostgres/83RC2/lib -lpython25 -lpq -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -o build\lib.win32-2.5\psy
copg2\_psycopg.pyd
c:\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lpq
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1


if I google for the error

"ld.exe: cannot find -lpq"

there is allways the information that the lib-dir of libpq is missing; but :

 -Lc:/postgres/83RC2/lib

is clearle within the commandline, and within c:/postgres/83RC2/lib
there is one libqp.lib

What am I missing? any hints?

Best wishes,

Harald
