psqlODBC *nix Makefile (new 7.3 open item?)

Dave Page writes:

Can someone who knows make better than I (which is probably the vast
majority of you!) knock up a makefile so the driver will build
standalone on *nix systems please? There should be no dependencies on
any of the rest of the code - certainly there isn't for the Win32 build.

I'm working something out. I'll send it to you tomorrow.

Hah. I tried to put something together based on Automake and Libtool, but
I must conclude that Libtool is just completely utterly broken. I also
considered copying over Makefile.shlib, but that would draw in too many
auxiliary files and create a different kind of mess. So what I would
suggest right now as the course of action is to copy your local psqlodbc
subtree to its old location under interfaces/ and try to hook things
together that way.

Perhaps one of these days we should convert Makefile.shlib into a shell
script that we can deploy more easily to different projects.

Thanks for trying Peter.

Are we going to get the same problems for the other bits (libpq++?) that
we've ripped out? Is anyone looking at them, or have they just been
dumped on Gborg & forgotten?

Regards, Dave.

I have added README.unix to the psqlODBC CVS containing the following
text:

I assume the odbc options haven't been removed from the autoconf stuff?

psqlODBC README for *nix Systems
================================

Since psqlODBC has be moved from the main PostgreSQL source tree, we
have yet
to create a new build system for the driver. Currently, in order to
build under
*nix systems, it is recommended that you copy the files in this
directory to
src/interfaces/odbc in your PostgreSQL source tree, then re-run
configure with
the required options from the top of the tree. The driver can then be
built
using make as per normal.
