databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.
I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.

Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.
If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to
revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm.
Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include:
. don't configure with libxml, or
. don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or
. change the xml2 Makefile
repeatedly. Now that we don't have to worry about memory leaks from
glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)
an earlier discussion. Centralize assumptions about what libpq depends
on in one place in Makefile.global. I am unconvinced that this list
is complete, but since ecpg seems to have gotten along with just these
entries, we'll try it this way and see what happens.
-built-in mechanism through the -MP flag. Adjust the file extensions to
look more like Automake practice. This frees up the .d suffix for use by
DTrace.
no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.
--enable-depend it often tries to create the .deps directory twice and
bails out when it already exists due to a race condition of if doesn't
exist, then create. This patch prevents mkdir from returning an error.

relocated after installation. We can't trust the installation paths
inserted into Makefile.global by configure, so instead we must get the
paths from pg_config. This requires extending pg_config to support all
the separately-configurable path names, but that was on TODO anyway.
of special case for Windows port. Put a PG_TRY around most of createdb()
to ensure that we remove copied subdirectories on failure, even if the
failure happens while creating the pg_database row. (I think this explains
Oliver Siegmar's recent report.) Having done that, there's no need for
the fragile assumption that copydir() mustn't ereport(ERROR), so simplify
its API. Eliminate the old code that used system("cp ...") to copy
subdirectories, in favor of using copydir() on all platforms. This not
only should allow much better error reporting, but allows us to fsync
the created files before trusting that the copy has succeeded.

(this returns to the way 7.4 did it). But check the distutils output
to see if it looks like Python has built a shared library, and if so
link with that instead of the probably-not-shared library found in
configdir.

Please find attached a small patch against current CVS head that fixes
pgport library installation so that it goes to libdir instead of
pkglibdir. It works for me.

Also, revert my earlier change to move installation path mashing from

all the code that looks for other binaries. I move FindExec into
port/exec.c (and renamed it to find_my_binary()). I also added
find_other_binary that looks for another binary in the same directory as
the calling program, and checks the version string.
The only behavior change was that initdb and pg_dump would look in the
hard-coded bindir directory if it can't find the requested binary in the
same directory as the caller. The new code throws an error. The old
behavior seemed too error prone for version mismatches.
conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

* 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...

contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware. The
Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option. This change
will simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that
support LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all
the directorys you want to have searched for additional libraries, run
configure, then run make. The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be
embedded in the executables via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker,
and so will not require LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run.
