Need help changing NAMEDATALEN

Hi guys,

I am trying to recompile postgresql 7.2 to change the default
of namedatalen=32.

Following instructions in a patch for version 7.1, found in the
mailing list, I used the command:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql \
--with-namedatalen=128 \
--with-CXX

I got no error messages, but it still doing a truncation of identifiers name at
length 32.

Can somebody help me ?

Thanks,

Flavio Hallais

Configure does not recognize this option, and for some stupid reason
(which we don't control) configure doesn't complain about options it
doesn't understand. Look in /src/include and change it in the proper
*.h. file, should be postgres_ext.h.

Please tell us where you saw those 7.1 instructions. I can't find them
anywhere.
