Peter Eisentraut	335248c9b7	Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install 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.)

Peter Eisentraut	44eaafe3f8	End users shouldn't have to invoke a separate command to install the 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.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	0d59dad770	Automatic dependency tracking The .DEFAULT rule in backend/Makefile is harmful -- removed. Replace `::' rules by `:'.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	74618e2b82	Another round of those unportable config/build changes :-/ * 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.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	362a0f68d9	The check of class string in configure (line 1732) fails because this class is in <string> and not in <string.h> on QNX4/egcs-2.91.60. Probably this can be changed for all platforms. The test in line 1705 uses <string> as well. Because I am not sure, I havn't this included into the patch. doc/Makefile has to be sligthly modified as it has been done for src/backend/Makefile due to a QNX4 problem (patch attached) Furthermore src/test/regress/run_check.sh needs to be patched as it has been done for regress.sh (patch attached). Please note that in the patch the postmaster is started always with the -i option. run_check.sh reports the test "limit" as failed, but in reallity it is OK. regress.sh reports it as OK.

Tom Lane	b10a719777	Use autoconf to determine whether system has POSIX signals, instead of relying on port's os.h to tell us. (Needed for HPUX where system major version is not enough info.) configure unsets USE_TK if X libraries not found. doc/Makefile uses gzcat or zcat as found by autoconf.	27 years ago

Marc G. Fournier	1af6b56427	From: Ryan Kirkpatrick <rkirkpat@nag.cs.colorado.edu> Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for '-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 & DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.	28 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	09b15ff882	Use POSTGRESDIR to set initial PGDOCS destination directory. PGDOCS in Makefile.custom will supercede defaults here, I think...	28 years ago

Marc G. Fournier	661ecf3c48	From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp Included are patches intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle multi-byte charachter sets such as EUC(Extende Unix Code), Unicode and Mule internal code. With the MB patch you can use multi-byte character sets in regexp and LIKE. The encoding system chosen is determined at the compile time. To enable the MB extension, you need to define a variable "MB" in Makefile.global or in Makefile.custom. For further information please take a look at README.mb under doc directory. (Note that unlike "jp patch" I do not use modified GNU regexp any more. I changed Henry Spencer's regexp coming with PostgreSQL.)	28 years ago
