How about removing LINUX_ELF from all Makefile.in's?

Yes, I asked earlier why LINUX_ELF was not being defined, and

can't get libpgtcl to compile, we have a problem. Do we need

Uh, I think this is a question for Marc. What would he expect to

be

defined for a platform? I'm pretty sure LINUX_ELF is supposed to

be

replaces with, for example, "defined(_GCC_) && defined(linux)"

or

something to that effect.

Marc?

I sort of ignored this one, being a Linux problem :(

Constantin,

what sort of error message(s) are you seeing and where? I'll be

more

attentive this time, promise :)

So. I tried to compile PostgreSQL from scratch, as I usual do with

every

version.
$ cd /usr/src/postgresql-6.3.2
$ cd src
$ ./configure

At this point, it shows a lot of configuration files and usually

asked

me if {linux-elf} it's ok for me.
This time, he didn't do so. He start running and checking all sort

of

programs and libraries and finally ended.

I removed the "question" phase, since there was already the
--with-template= feature in configure...it will try to determine and
use
what it feels is appropriate based on a 'uname -s', which doesn't take
into consideration different versions of an OS...

Compiling all (gmake all) I noticed that in src/interfaces/libpgtcl
there isn't a libpgtcl.so library and in src/interfaces/libpq there
isn't libpq.so.

I succeeded getting that libraries editing by hand the Makefile in

those

two directories and introducing a new line LINUX_ELF=true, then make
clean and make again. I copied libpgtcl.so and libpq.so in my /lib
directory and PgAccess work now. But for someone who did not know

how to

do that, it could be quit embarassing.

Thoughts on how this might be fixed? :(

Removing ??? Why removing it ???

You mean that removing the ifdef's containing LINUX_ELF and making 'by
default' the shared libraries all the time.

Yes, that was what I meant to say. Just remove the ifdef's. But then
there may be some AOUT systems left.

There has to be a better method of determining this...doesn't
there? Is there a test we can add to configure to auto-determine an 'ELF'
system? Then just change the makefile so that it gets rid of the
LINUX_ELF "stuff" with something that configure sets?

There, try that. I have it so that if 'with-template' is
linux_elf, it sets LINUX_ELF to yes in both Makefile's...let me know if
that does it for you...

Yes, it is. But Marc, you made a small mistake. In configure you have to
check for template/linux-elf not linux-elf:

*** configure.orig      Tue Apr 21 14:47:20 1998
--- configure   Tue Apr 21 14:48:06 1998
***************
*** 670,676 ****

echo "$ac_t""$TEMPLATE" 1>&6

! if test "$TEMPLATE" = "linux-elf"; then
        LINUX_ELF=yes
  else
        LINUX_ELF=no
--- 670,676 ----

echo "$ac_t""$TEMPLATE" 1>&6

! if test "$TEMPLATE" = "template/linux-elf"; then
LINUX_ELF=yes
else
LINUX_ELF=no

Also ecpg/lib/Makefile.in is not updated.

How about we make linux-elf the default, rename the template files and
check for linux-aout? That way, I wouldn't have to worry about my own
linux-elf-debug template, or the linux-elf-sparc template.

I have experimented right now.

I ran ./configure --with-template=linux-elf
It says that it will use template/linux-elf configuration file but I
looked into Makefiels in libpq and libpgtcl directories and none of

them

contains LINUX_ELF=true

This is with just new CVSup'd code? *raised eyebrow*

There should be (interfaces/libpq/Makefile.in):

# Shared library stuff
shlib :=
install-shlib-dep :=
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
LINUX_ELF=@LINUX_ELF@
ifdef LINUX_ELF
install-shlib-dep := install-shlib
shlib := libpq.so.$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)
LDFLAGS_SL = -shared -soname libpq.so.$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION)
CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS_SL)
endif

I believe no one is running non-elf Linux. Am I correct?
