Hi Michael,

Postgresql will now install the additional libpq headers:

https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/69eefd6a8914eee482f478884c5e821d6bdb2843

and the soci package builds successfully with these cmake options:

        -DSOCI_POSTGRESQL=ON \
        -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES="-lsecur32 `'$(TARGET)-pkg-config' 
openssl --libs`” \

However, I don’t think “CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES” is the right way to add 
extra libs, and am not familiar enough with cmake to find a better way. Also, 
there doesn’t seem to be a way to disable shared builds.

Cheers,

Tony
