into .def and .exp files automatically on Windows, AIX, and the like.
An additional benefit is that changes in libpgport files correctly
propagate to force rebuild of the backend executable. This is my
reworking of Rocco Altier's idea, and if it breaks anything it's
definitely my fault.
and should do now that we control our own destiny for timezone handling,
but this commit gets the bulk of the picayune diffs in place.
Magnus Hagander and Tom Lane.
* configure + Makefile changes
* shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
* PATH env var separator differences
* missing win32 rand functions added
* placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h
To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):
* child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)
* dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls
* dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro
* slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)
Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

Attached is a patch to fix the mb linking problems on AIX. As a nice side effect
it reduces the duplicate symbol warnings to linking libpq.so and libecpg.so
(all shlibs that are not postmaster loadable modules).
Please apply to current (only affects AIX).
The _LARGE_FILES problem is unfortunately still open, unless Peter
has fixed it per his recent idea.

Eliminate the mysterious games that the Cygwin build plays with the linker
flag variables. DLLLIBS is gone, use SHLIB_LINK like everyone else.
Detect cygipc in configure, after the linker flags are set up, otherwise
configure might not work at all.
Make sure everything is covered by make clean.
Fix the build of the new conversion procedure modules.
Add new DLLIMPORT markers where required.
Finally, the compiler complains if we use an explicit
-I/usr/local/include, so don't do that. Curiously, -L/usr/local/lib is
still necessary.
'make install'; there are enough of 'em that this slowed down the make
noticeably. Ensure that 'all' is the default make target in all these
directories (defaulting to 'make install' is surprising and dangerous
IMHO). Fix a couple small typos.
conversion procs and conversions are added in initdb. Currently
supported conversions are:
UTF-8(UNICODE) <--> SQL_ASCII, ISO-8859-1 to 16, EUC_JP, EUC_KR,
EUC_CN, EUC_TW, SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, UHC,
JOHAB, TCVN
EUC_JP <--> SJIS
EUC_TW <--> BIG5
MULE_INTERNAL <--> EUC_JP, SJIS, EUC_TW, BIG5
Note that initial contents of pg_conversion system catalog are created
in the initdb process. So doing initdb required is ideal, it's
possible to add them to your databases by hand, however. To accomplish
this:
psql -f your_postgresql_install_path/share/conversion_create.sql your_database
So I did not bump up the version in cataversion.h.
TODO:
Add more conversion procs
Add [CASCADE|RESTRICT] to DROP CONVERSION
Add tuples to pg_depend
Add regression tests
Write docs
Add SQL99 CONVERT command?

As proof of concept, provide an alternate implementation based on POSIX
semaphores. Also push the SysV shared-memory implementation into a
separate file so that it can be replaced conveniently.
src/GNUmakefile.in to src/Makefile
and
src/backend/port/Makefile.in to src/backend/port/Makefile
All configure substitutions are now done in Makefile.global.
under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout
and compatibility with binary packaging standards. Point backend's
default search location there. The contrib modules are also
installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the
default search path as well. No changes in user interface
nevertheless.
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
it does not support 64bit integers. AFAIK that's the default data type for
OIDs, so I am not surprised that this does not work. Use gcc instead.
BTW., 7.1 does not compile as is with gcc either, I believed the
required patches made it into the 7.1.1 release but obviously I missed
the deadline.
Since the ports mailing list does not seem to be archived I have attached
a copy of the patch (for 7.1 and 7.1.1).
I've just performed a build of a Watcom compiled version and found a couple
of bugs in the watcom specific part of that patch. Please use the attached
version instead.
