Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,
Jeroen van Vianen
tree "non-PORTNAME" dependent. Technically, anything that is PORTNAME
dependent should be able to be derived at compile time, through configure
or through gcc
Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4
I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler
mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits
addressing,
but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.)
There were several problems:
1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On
this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles
were changed as needed.
3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression
tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation
log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you.
The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom:
CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
LD = ld -n32
CC += -n32
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
Subject: [HACKERS] locale patches !
Hi there,
here are little patches to get Postgres 6.1 works with locale stuff.
This is a patch against 970402.tar.gz, there are no problem to apply them
by hand to 6.0 release. Collate stuff tested about 1-2 months in real
working database but I'm sure there must be no problem. US hackers
could vote against locale implementation ( locale for sure will affect to
speed of postgres ), so I introduce variable USE_LOCALE which
controls locale stuff. Non-US users now could use ~* operator
for searching and <order by> for strings with nation alphabet.
Please, don't forget, as I did first time, to set environment variable
LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE because backend get locale information from them.
I start postmaster from a little script, assuming that shell is Bash shell
it looks like:
#!/bin/sh
export LC_CTYPE=koi8-r
export LC_COLLATE=koi8-r
postmaster -B 1024 -S -D/usr/local/pgsql/data/ -o '-Fe'
