included, and then include <strings.h> if so. Several systems already
needed <strings.h> anyway. Some new systems that claim to conform to the
Unix 9x "standard" do not declare str[n]casemp() in string.h, and C99
compilers will not like that.
Bruce Hartzler <bruceh@mail.utexas.edu>. It contains shared library
support, regression test map, and the usual template files. The dynamic
loader is missing, the spin lock code apparently doesn't assemble due to
syntax problems, and semaphores are to be hoped for from Apple.
code conversion between Unicode and other encodings. Note that
this option requires --enable-multibyte also.
The reason why this is optional is that the feature requires huge
mapping tables and I don't think every user need the feature.
path into executables and shared libraries (-rpath or -R for most). Can be
disabled with --disable-rpath, since some binary packaging standards do not
like this option.
the -l options. (This was not the case when using the OpenSSL or Kerberos
options.) Also make sure that shared library links get to see all the -L
options. Get Kerberos 5 support to compile on Redhat 7.0. Add OpenSSL and
-lsocket (if used/found) to libpq link.
particular, allow linking with arbitrary commands rather than only $(AR) or
$(LD), and treat C++ without hacks.
Add option to disable shared libraries. This takes the place of the
BSD_SHLIB variable. The regression test driver ignores the plpgsql test
if there are no shared libraries available.
Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.
Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.
source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.
As a result, backend/libpq/pqcomm.c and interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
fail to compile.
The <netinet/tcp.h> header needs to be preceded by <netinet/in.h>, at
least on IRIX, Solaris and AIX. The simple configure test fails.
(That header on Linux is idempotent.)
The basic problem is that <netinet/tcp.h> is a BSD header. The
correct header for TCP internals such as TCP_NODELAY on a UNIX system
is <xti.h>. By UNIX I mean UNIX95 (aka XPG4v2 or SUSv1) or later.
The current UNIX standard (UNIX98 aka SUSv2) is available online at
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/>.
The fix is to add header support for <xti.h> into configure.in and
config.h.in.
The 2 files which conditionally include <netinet/tcp.h> need also to
conditionally include <xti.h>.

for the library. not sure if this will cause problems on other
platforms, but if it does it can be easily fixed. Also remove the
references to the GeekGadgets includes as the majority of users don't
have them installed and they foul the build process. We can document
that adding them if you have them installed is a good idea.
David Reid
after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.
Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :
* beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
* beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
* expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
* regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
* dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)
Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.
Cyril VELTER
working on the VERY latest version of BeOS. I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!
Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.
Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.
BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed. Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.
I await the replies with interest :)
David Reid
problems with some bits of it, but when all the patches are in it'll build
and we can fix it from there :) I've got a version that builds and runs and
that is the basis for these patches.
The first file has the new additional files that are required,
template/beos
backend/port/dynloader/beos.c
backend/port/dynloader/beos.h
include/port/beos.h
makefiles/Makefile.beos
The second is a tarball of diffs against a few files. I've added sys/ipc.h
to configure and config.h via configure.in and config.h.in and then started
adding the check as this file isn't needed on BeOS and having loads of
#ifdef BEOS isn't as obvious as #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H and isn't as
autconf'ish :)
Files touched are
include/c.h
configure.in
include/config.h.in
include/storage/ipc.h
include/utils/int8.h
Let me know how these go. I'll await a response before submitting any more.
Any problems just get in touch.

and the fmgr redesign.
It makes the homebrewn dl*() functions for more recent Versions of AIX
obsolete
by using the system dl*() functions instead.
It also fixes the expected file for the horology regression test.
Please regenerate configure from configure.in, I don't have the
environment/time.

Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension. This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.
add --without-tk option to disable Tk. We don't need the AC_PATH_XTRA
test because tkConfig.sh already contains all the information about how to
compile and link with X. Also make sure that libpq is up to date for
libpgtcl. Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.
souce directory of OpenSSL as argument to the --with-openssl - argument.
./configure --with-openssl=/tmp/openssl-0.9.5/ - the libcrypto.a is in
the
"base" directory, not lib/.
Also, there's 2-3 typo fixes to the documentation for SSL - it should be
"server.crt", not "server.cert".
Dominic J. Eidson
incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.
A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.
The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.
Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.
Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.
documentation. Therefore it's now installed by default. If there is no
documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution)
then this step is skipped.
Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.
* the result is not recorded anywhere
* the result is not used anywhere
* the result is only used in some places, whereas others have been getting away with it
* the result is used improperly
Also make command line options handling a little better (e.g., --disable-locale,
while redundant, should really still *dis*able).
* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
useful is left as an exercise.
* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
all the other libraries are checked for.
* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.
* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
anymore.
* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.
* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.
* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
separately.
* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.
* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
don't add it on in Makefile.global.
* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.
... and in completely unrelated news:
* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
save the environment as well.
functional.
Handle include file installation in src/include/Makefile
genbki.sh improvements: Don't substitute anything by config.status,
instead pass in AWK and CPP through environment. Change calling
convention to support named output files, so we get to see error
messages on stderr.
Rename bootstrap template files and install them into PREFIX/share.
Update initdb to that effect and other readability improvements
in initdb.
PostgreSQL-7.0.2 run on Linux for the Intel-IA64 architecture. It also
fixes a bug in the configure scripts that caused configure to fail on
the fcntl(F_SETLK) test.
This fix triggered a bug in the fcntl(F_SETLK) code of the Linux
kernel when used on unix domain sockets resulting in postmaster to
segfault immediately after startup. There is a fix available and
included in the kernel that will be on SuSE Linux 7.0, but kernels <=
2.2.16 still have this bug.

and config.h. Adjusted all referring code.
Scrapped pg_version and changed initdb accordingly. Integrated
src/utils/version.c into src/backend/utils/init/miscinit.c. Changed all
callers.
Set version number to `7.1devel'. (Non-numeric version suffixes now allowed.)
Don't use DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO on Solaris. Don't define the
replacement function in the header file. Use -KPIC, not -K PIC.
Use CC to link C++ libraries, not ld/ar.
Eliminate file not found warnings in tcl build code.
standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.
maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.
Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.
ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.
PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.
The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.
we'll get there one day.
Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.
Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.
have'nt r un autoconf to create a new configure, I guess that's done by
the smapshot process, I had to remove a line from interface/odbc/
GNUMakefile to get it to build, it was a autoconf variable that looks to
not be used anymore, I am assuming that this is ok.

Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process
made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming
adjustments.
Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests.
Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl.
And it breaks equally often. :(
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.
Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.
Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.
Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.
here bother to run autoconf, or pay attention when it complains?
To say nothing of actually committing the configure that goes with the
configure.in.

CPP) to create platform independent files. Unfortunately, that means that
every config.status (or configure) run invariably causes a relink of the
postmaster and also that we can't put these files in the distribution
(usefully). So we make it a little smarter: when the output files already
exist and it notices that it would recreate them in identical form, it
doesn't touch them. In order to avoid re-running the make rule all the time
we update a timestamp file instead.
Update release_prep accordingly. Also make Gen_fmgrtab.sh use the awk that
is detected at configure time, not necessarily named `awk' and have it check
for exit statuses a little better.
In other news... Remove USE_LOCALE from the templates, it was set to `no'
everywhere anyway. Also remove YACC and YFLAGS from the templates, configure
is smart enough to find bison or yacc itself. Use AC_PROG_YACC for that
instead of the hand-crafted code. Do not set YFLAGS to `-d'. The make rules
that need this flag should explicitly invoke it. YFLAGS should be a user
variable. Update the makefiles to that effect.
