back --infodir, which several automatic build environments expect to exist.
Add --without-docdir to prevent installation of documentation, which is
helpful for things like RPM that have their own method of installing
documentation.
When --enable-debug is used, then the default CFLAGS for non-GCC is just
-g without -O.
Backpatch enhancement of Autoconf inline test that detects problems with
the HP C compiler.
o allow configure to see include/port/win32 include files
o add matching Win32 accept() prototype
o allow pg_id to compile with native Win32 API
o fix invalide mbvalidate() function calls (existing bug)
o allow /scripts to compile with native Win32 API
o add win32.c to Win32 compiles (already in *.mak files)
was modified for IPv6. Use a robust definition of struct sockaddr_storage,
do a proper configure test to see if ss_len exists, don't assume that
getnameinfo() will handle AF_UNIX sockets, don't trust getaddrinfo to
return the protocol we ask for, etc. This incorporates several outstanding
patches from Kurt Roeckx, but I'm to blame for anything that doesn't
work ...
independently of whether the struct tm tm_zone member exists.
Also run autoheader, which seems not to have been done lately;
it added about three more things to pg_config.h.in than I was expecting...
rewritten and the protocol is changed, but most elog calls are still
elog calls. Also, we need to contemplate mechanisms for controlling
all this functionality --- eg, how much stuff should appear in the
postmaster log? And what API should libpq expose for it?
separate macro. Also add support for %I64d which is the way on Windows.
The code that checks for the 64-bit int type now gives more reasonable
results when cross-compiling: In that case we just take the compiler's
information and trust that the arithmetic works. Disabling int64 is too
pessimistic.
UNIQUE and DISTINCT predicates are both listed as implemented -- AFAIK,
neither is.
I also included another trivial patch which adds the default location
of the DSSSL stylesheets on my system (Debian unstable, docbook-dsssl
1.76) to the list of paths that configure looks for.

system, not Tcl-provided one.
Make sure export file, if any, is cleaned.
Tcl configuration is now read directly in configure and recorded in
Makefile.global. This eliminates some duplicate efforts and allows
for easier hand-editing of the results, if necessary.
which covers some recent installation schemes.
Add Mandrake installation layout to directories to check for stylesheets.
Allow documentation build to proceed if stylesheets were not found, in case
the stylesheets might be found through the SGML catalog mechanism.
choice of compiler and flags, uninstall, and peculiar Python installation
layouts for PyGreSql. Also install into site-packages now, as officially
recommended. And pgdb.py is also installed now, used to be forgotten.
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc. The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.
but take it as 'int *' instead.
Add real test for whether ld -R works on Unixware.
Rename --enable-uniconv to --enable-unicode-conversion.
Install shlibs mode 755 by default, since 644 causes gratuitous complaints
from ldd et al. on some systems.
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.
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.
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.
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.
argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe
against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the
combinations succeed.
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.
