are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
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.
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.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

FreeBSD/Intel and DecUX/Alpha machines. The bug appears in postgresql
6.5.3 and 7.0.2. Can someone please review it and apply it to the
source tree?
Sometimes when the postgres connection dies it is necessary to
attempt to reconnect. Calling the pgconnection::Connect method in a
derived class leaks memory because it does not clear the current
connection (if there is one). These patches ensures that any open
connections are closed before attempting to open a new one.

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.

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.
libpq++.h contained copies of the class declarations in the other libpq++
include files, which was bogus enough, but the declarations were not
completely in step with the real declarations. Remove these in favor
of including the headers with #include. Make PgConnection destructor
virtual (not absolutely necessary, but seems like a real good idea
considering the number of subclasses derived from it). Give all classes
declared private copy constructors and assignment operators, to prevent
compiler from thinking it can copy these objects safely.
compiler will understand them. configure may have #define'd them to
empty because the local C compiler doesn't understand them, but this
may very well cause a C++ compilation to fail, so don't do it in C++.
and do not arbitrarily pull in CFLAGS instead. This caters to platforms
where the C++ compiler does not like all the same switches the C compiler
wants.
/tmp/trace.out.
However, elog.h uses DEBUG as a log-level flag. As a result, tracing is
turned on even if the libpq++.so is built with DEBUG commented out in
the Makefile.
This patch changes libpq++ to use DEBUGFILE instead (which is not
defined anywhere else).

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!
