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.

messed up and we end up with the comments from included files in the output
"configure".

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.

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>.

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.

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.

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.

Andreas

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.

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.

the harm potential outweighs the possible benefits.

(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.

reported by Mark Hollomon

Don't do config.status substitutions into the regression test makefile.

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 `:'.

Read templates after compiler is detected. Convert all templates to real
shell scripts. Rename bsd->openbsd, alpha->osf.
