here are the patches for psql on Win32:
psql4win32.patch - changes in the psql source code
psql-ref.patch - changes in the documentation psql-ref.sgml
(for new builtin variable WIN32_CONSOLE)
To apply them use "patch -p 1" in the root directory of the
postgres source directory.
These patches fix the following problems of psql on Win32
(all changes only have effect #ifdef WIN32):
a) Problem: Static library libpq.a did not work
Solution: Added WSAStartup() in fe-connect.c
b) Problem: Secret Password was echoed by psql
Solution: Password echoing disabled in sprompt.c
c) Problem: 8bit characters were displayed/interpreted wrong in psql
This is due to the fact that the Win32 "console" uses a
different encoding than the rest of the Windows system
Solution: Introduced a new psql variable WIN32_CONSOLE
When set with "\set WIN32_console", the function OemToChar()
is applied after reading input and CharToOem() before
displaying Output
