BUG??, fault in POSTMASTER when using GMAKE
hello there,
i must say i'm a rookie at using unix, but when i was trying to install postgresql 7.1,
i came up with the following problem in the POSTMASTER program section. Could you, the reader of this message, please tell me what or where i can do/go to solve this problem. This is what the output was after running the installation:
gcc2 -O2 -pipe -m486 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../../.
./src/include -c postmaster.c -o postmaster.o
postmaster.c: In function `PostmasterMain':
postmaster.c:406: `optreset' undeclared (first use this function)
postmaster.c:406: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
postmaster.c:406: for each function it appears in.)
gmake: *** [postmaster.o] Error 1
The rest of posgresql seemed to be installed without any problem. It might be due to some mistake i made, if so, don't be angry with me, just let me know.
thanx-a-lot,
Dagomar

Hm. It looks like configure is testing whether it can link
extern int optreset; optreset = 1;
but then postmaster.c tries to get away without the extern. One or
the other of these things needs to change. Peter, you got an opinion
about it?
BTW, info@decc.nl, what platform are you using?

Correctly diagnosed, but I can't get at the code because the cvs server is
down.
BTW, info@decc.nl, what platform are you using?
Probably something BSDish.

I have installed the below patch into CVS. You can apply it to your
sources or obtain a new snapshot tarball tomorrow, or wait for the 7.1.1
release in 1-2 weeks.
