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.

flags for Solaris.  The test itself is straight from libtool.

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.

anyway, the rest being due to them not being kept in sync.  Add configure
test for lorder and use it (on Solaris) when found.

installing into a shared location.  Also Makefile.global organizational
cleanup.

add "check" and "installcheck" targets, straighten out make variable naming
of host_os, host_cpu, etc.

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.

that's actually useful, robust, consistent.

Better plan to generate aclocal.m4 as well: use m4 include directives,
rather than cat.

to parallel make, kind of resistent to corruption due to incomplete builds.

to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some
now obsoleted make variables.

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.

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 .DEFAULT rule in backend/Makefile is harmful -- removed.
Replace `::' rules by `:'.

* 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.

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.)

just pass in CPP and AWK via the environment from the Makefile.

where someone wants to build these but hasn't configured for Tcl.

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.

all the standard semantics. Also get rid of Makefile.in's on the
way and instead declare all variables in Makefile.global.

which didn't work anyway. Had to back out unixodbc related patch which
broke the regular ODBC build.

Add options to configure to automatically build for Kerberos
support; no more editing of make files.

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.

the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere.
Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.

Most (nearly all) of the work was done by David Wragg <dpw@doc.ic.ac.uk>

He patched 6.5.3. I've updated it for 7.0RC5.

It works for MIT kerberos 1.1.1 (and previously for 1.0.6 as well).

I've got the patch against 6.5.3, plus kerberized RPMS.

Mike Wyer <mw@doc.ic.ac.uk>     ||         "Woof?"

--with-includes) to makefiles for pltcl and plperl, so that these
switches will be used even though we do not want other top-level
CFLAGS.  Ain't it fun trying to support multiple-compiler platforms?

repaired psql option scanning bug (special treatment to \g |pipe)
fixed ipcclean makefile
made configure look for Perl to handle psql help build gracefully

- I was unable to compile ecpg due to the ":=" instead of "=" in defining
LIBPQDIR and some other variables in Makefile.global.in
- pg_id (and also pg_encoding) executable was not removed during "make
clean" - there was no $(X) appended to the executable name for rm
- I have added result for int2, int4, float8 and geometry regression tests
        - int2, int2 - yet another message for too large numbers ;-)
        - float8 - it is problably a bug in the newlib C library - it has no
error message for numbers with exponent -400
        - geometry - differences in precision of float numbers
- I have added appropriate lines into resultmap file
- I have modified the script regress.sh to use "case" statement when testing
the hostname. For cygwin the script is called with "i686-pc-cygwin" (on my
machine) as a parameter and this was not catched with the "if" statement.
The check was done for PORTNAME (win) and not HOSTNAME (i.86-pc-cygwin*).

The patch for described modifications is included.

All this modifications can be applied to "current" tree too.
The compilation was done on CygwinB20.1 with gcc 2.95, cygipc library 1.05.
The binaries were able to run also on the newest development snapshot
(2000-03-25).

'#include <string>' work in the local C++ compiler.

        1) adds NetBSD shared lib support on both ELF and a.out platforms

        2) replaces "-L$(LIBPQDIR) -lpq" with "$(LIBPQ)" defined in
           Makefile.global.  This makes it much easier to build stuff in
           the source tree after you've already installed the libraries.

        3) adds TEMPLATEDIR in Makefile.global that indicates where the
           database templates are stored.  This separates the template files
           from real libraries that are installed in $(LIBDIR).
        4) changes include order of <readline/readline.h> and <readline.h>.
           The latest GNU readline installs its headers under a readline
           subdirectory.

In addition to applying the patch below the following files need to be copied:

        backend/port/dynloader:
                bsd.h -> netbsd.h
                bsd.c -> netbsd.c
        include/port:
                bsd.h -> netbsd.h
        makefiles:
                Makefile.bsd -> Makefile.netbsd

It would be great to see this incorporated into the source tree before
the 7.0 release is cut.

        Thanks!
