least, Solaris 2.5.1. We use it in backend/utils/adt/int8.c.
Add a check to configure so that we see if it exists or not, and, if not,
compile in snprintf.c from backend/port, which was taken from, and falls under
the same Berkeley license as us, the FreeBSD libc/stdio ...
psql in Postgres 6.3.2. Both of these problems were complained of
recently in pgsql-questions:
1. In the right circumstances, psql.c will fail to compile due to
trying
to include a nonexistent <history.h>. (Thread "Compile-time
error" around 17 Apr 98.) 2. In other circumstances, psql will
compile but does not provide
command history capability, even though the underlying readline
library supports it. (Various threads, most recently "query
repetition in psql" around 29 Apr.)

probleme number 1 :
- configure can find the library readline , but don't
find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
.
probleme number 2 :
- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) . you
can compile the version 6.3 . I use this prefix , when configure
ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
.
( because there a conflict in the header when you
compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
directive -I .

2) Add "#define gettimeofday(a,b) gettimeofday(a) to src/include/config.h
On the 88k SVR4, gettimeofday only has one argument. This is
checked for in a few other packages by configure, so there should
be some examples of the configure test out there.
What it does:
It solves stupid problem with cyrillic charsets IP-based on-fly recoding.
take a look at /data/charset.conf for details.
You can use any tables for any charset.
Tables are from Russian Apache project.
Tables in this patch contains also Ukrainian characters.
Then run ./configure --enable-recode
Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).

Missing port-protos.h (not needed, I think). Wants dld.h. Should
really use the system dl stuff (like i386_solaris). Needs to include
<netinet/in.h> before <arpa/inet.h>. Here are some patches...
nodeAgg.c: WARN -> NOTICE for elog
parse_oper.c: was created after patch for fmgr_info, so function call wrong
scan.c: regenerated for i386_solaris using flex 2.5.4
gethostname.c: required prototype for gethostname() function
config.h.in: create prototype for isinfo() function
isinf.c: "fake" isinf() under i386_solaris using fpclass() call...
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 :)
#define StrNCpy(dst,src,len) \
(strncpy((dst),(src),(len)),(len > 0) ? *((dst)+(len)-1)='\0' : \
NULL,(void)(dst))
^^^^^^ - to avoid "value computed is not used" from gcc
in ma-a-any places (should to fix thouse places instead, but ...
time)
config.h.in:
/*
* TBL_FREE_CMD_MEMORY: free memory allocated for an user query inside
* transaction block after this query is done.
*/
#define TBL_FREE_CMD_MEMORY
- this is default now.
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.

Subject: [HACKERS] password authentication
This patch adds support for plaintext password authentication. To use
it, you add a line like
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password pg_pwd.conf
to your pg_hba.conf, where 'pg_pwd.conf' is the name of a file containing
the usernames and password hashes in the format of the first two fields
of a Unix /etc/passwd file. (Of course, you can use a specific database
name or IP instead.)
Then, to connect with a password through libpq, you use the PQconnectdb()
function, specifying the "password=" tag in the connect string and also
adding the tag "authtype=password".
I also added a command-line switch '-u' to psql that tells it to prompt
for a username and password and use password authentication.
Essentially, config.h now includes an 'os.h', which is created via
configure by linking a "port.h" file from the port directory to the
include directory.
Going to try to merge backend/port in similar ways
