Makefile.global.
End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port". Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself. Still
work to be done though :)
Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for configure.in to not ask for CASSERT
The following patch defaults to CASSERT, so it doesn't ask you. You can
still use --enable-cassert and --disable-cassert to do it explicitly.
Default: disabled
Subject: [HACKERS] Another patch to configure.in
I heard very little in objections/approvals to defaulting some of the
parameters to configure. Enclosed is a patch to configure.in which
removes the questions for
PGPORT
USE_LOCALE
NOHBA
By default (i.e. assuming you don't put anything extra in the configure
command line), it assumes PGPORT=5432, USE_LOCAL=no and NOHBA=no (i.e.
HBA is turned on)
--with-pgport=PGPORT_NO Over-rides the PGPORT value
--enable-locale enables USE_LOCALE
--disable-hba disables HBA
Just for completeness:
--prefix=BASEDIR Defaults to /usr/local/pgsql
--with-template=TEMPLATE Defaults to asking you
FreeBSD
The Makefile(s) have all been cleaned up such that there is a single
LDFLAGS vs LD_ADD or LDADD or LDFLAGS or LDFLAGS_BE. The Makefile(s)
should be alot more straightforward then they were before...and
consistent
Further extended Makefile.global/build/configure so that we can
have a 'template' file for each OS (and each version of OS, as in BSDi)
which is used as much as possible to generate Makefile.global
Any future ports should look at using the template file as a basis,
before moving over to Makefile.global.
This will most probably break alot of the ports, atho I've tried to
be very neat about it...
Remove USE_LOCALE from Makefile.global.in
Add USE_LOCALE to build/configure/config.h
Add check for BUILDRUN in configure to make sure that build is run before
configure
of endian.h. I figure that if it exists it's pretty sure that it has
the byte order information and we may catch some other ports without
any further testing.
