CVS doesn't compile initdb and other binaries

You can't mix binaries from different versions. You are basically stuck
on 7.3.X until we can upgrade, or you can pull out the patch from CVS
and see if that works -- I am not sure if that is safe.

Hello

I'm trying to compile CVS version of Postgres to get rid of the
heap_mark4update bug ; the lines I used were :

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co -P
pgsql-server
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co -P
pgsql

compilation lines were :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-cvs --without-tk --without-tcl ; make
; make install
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-cvs-server --without-tk --without-tcl
; make ; make install

Whatever I do, there is no binary for initdb created in the bin/
installation directory, I only get psql & postmaster. When I try to run
them with my 7.3.2 pgdata dir, it fails, saying : FATAL: The data
directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 7.3, which is not
compatible with this version 7.4devel.

How am I supposed to compile all 7.4devel binaries from CVS ?

Thanks

I don't think the (original) problem is that he is trying to mix
binaries from different versions -- but that the 7.4devel build he
attempted wasn't complete. As for *why* the whole thing didn't build, I
have no idea: I rebuild my CVS HEAD checkout all the time, and it works
fine.

You probably want just pgsql-server.

I'm not trying to mix versions, I'm only trying to compile binaries
(initdb,createdb, and others) from the CVS tree.

I really don't know what to do, I tried on three systems (debian,rh,slack)
and none did compile binaries except postmaster & psql. No error was shown
after make or make install.

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot

co -P

pgsql-server

I tried pgsql or pgsql-server both 'skip' binaries compilation.

I'm abit afraid to get a cvs fix to be applied to our 7.3.2 production box,
having troubles with that mark4update bug and also with another bug Tom
Lane helped me to fix by modifying source code : is a 7.3.3 version
scheduled in the next weeks ?

Thanks
