Peter Eisentraut	29b3ac7546	configure: More use of AC_ARG_VAR AC_ARG_VAR is necessary if an environment variable influences a configure result that is then used by other tests that are cached. With AC_ARG_VAR, a change in the variable is detected on subsequent configure runs and the user is then advised to remove the cache. This adds AC_ARG_VAR calls for: MSGFMT, PERL, PYTHON, TCLSH, XML2_CONFIG Reviewed-by: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/30672.1546816567@sss.pgh.pa.us	7 years ago
Tom Lane	5e22171310	Make some fixes to allow building Postgres on macOS 10.14 ("Mojave"). Apple's latest rearrangements of the system-supplied headers have broken building of PL/Perl and PL/Tcl. The only practical way to fix PL/Tcl is to start using the "-isysroot" compiler flag to point to SDK-supplied headers, as Apple expects. We must also start distinguishing where to find Perl's headers from where to find its shared library; but that seems like good cleanup anyway. Extensions that formerly did something like -I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE should now do -I$(perl_includedir)/CORE instead. perl_archlibexp is still the place to look for libperl.so, though. If for some reason you don't like the default -isysroot setting, you can override that by setting PG_SYSROOT in configure's arguments. I don't currently think people would need to do so, unless maybe for cross-version build purposes. In addition, teach configure where to find tclConfig.sh. Our traditional method of searching $auto_path hasn't worked for the last couple of macOS releases, and it now seems clear that Apple's not going to change that. The workaround of manually specifying --with-tclconfig was annoying already, but Mojave's made it a lot more so because the sysroot path now has to be included as well. Let's just wire the knowledge into configure instead. To avoid breaking builds against non-default Tcl installations (e.g. MacPorts) wherein the $auto_path method probably still works, arrange to try the additional case only after all else has failed. Back-patch to all supported versions, since at least the buildfarm cares about that. The changes are set up to not do anything on macOS releases that are old enough to not have functional sysroot trees.	7 years ago
Tom Lane	b21c569cea	Further improve consistency of configure's program searching. Peter Eisentraut noted that commit `40b9f1921` had broken a configure behavior that some people might rely on: AC_CHECK_PROGS(FOO,...) will allow the search to be overridden by specifying a value for FOO on configure's command line or in its environment, but AC_PATH_PROGS(FOO,...) accepts such an override only if it's an absolute path. We had worked around that behavior for some, but not all, of the pre-existing uses of AC_PATH_PROGS by just skipping the macro altogether when FOO is already set. Let's standardize on that workaround for all uses of AC_PATH_PROGS, new and pre-existing, by wrapping AC_PATH_PROGS in a new macro PGAC_PATH_PROGS. While at it, fix a deficiency of the old workaround code by making sure we report the setting to configure's log. Eventually I'd like to improve PGAC_PATH_PROGS so that it converts non-absolute override inputs to absolute form, eg "PYTHON=python3" becomes, say, PYTHON = /usr/bin/python3. But that will take some nontrivial coding so it doesn't seem like a thing to do in late beta. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/90a92a7d-938e-507a-3bd7-ecd2b4004689@2ndquadrant.com	8 years ago
Tom Lane	9da70efcbe	Mop-up for setting minimum Tcl version to 8.4. Commit `e2609323e` set the minimum Tcl version we support to 8.4, but I forgot to adjust the documentation to say the same. Some nosing around for other consequences found that the configure script could be simplified slightly as well.	10 years ago
Tom Lane	eaba54c20c	Accept tcl 8.6 in configure's probe for tclsh. Usually the search would find plain "tclsh" without any trouble, but some installations might only have the version-numbered flavor of that program. No compatibility problems have been reported with 8.6, so we might as well back-patch this to all active branches. Christoph Berg	12 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	509303a597	Abort if Tcl support was configured and no tcl shell was found. This is required because the value is substituted into the pltcl_*mod scripts.	17 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	2f2d05763d	Change PL/Tcl build to use configured compiler and Makefile.shlib 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.	24 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	7c1ff35410	Upgrade to Autoconf version 2.53. Replaced many custom macro calls with new or now-built-in versions. Make sure that all calls to AC_DEFINE have a third argument, for possible use of autoheader in the future.	24 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	f428d053ce	Revise Tcl/Tk configuration. Make missing Tcl after --with-tcl an error, 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.	25 years ago
