Bruce Momjian 513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

Peter Eisentraut dd01cfe1c4 Remove possibility to specify an installation root after --with-krbx and
--with-openssl options.  This creates too much risk to pick up the wrong
directory accidentally (for example when there are lib64 directories), and
does not really help much with contemporary installation layouts.

Peter Eisentraut b3d72d3ec5 Use --with-docdir to choose installation location of documentation; put
back --infodir, which several automatic build environments expect to exist.

helpful for things like RPM that have their own method of installing
documentation.

Bruce Momjian 1d3a47af0c Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support.
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.

Patch includes changes to documentation.

Peter Eisentraut f5944af8ba Include directory rearrangement
Client headers are no longer in a subdirectory, since they have been made
namespace-clean.

Internal libpq headers are in a private subdirectory.

Server headers are in a private subdirectory.  pg_config has a new option
to point there.

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.

Bruce Momjian f7659a9c18 This patch adds a new configure option --with-pltcl-unknown which
enables pltcl unknown support.


Also it adds substituting of tclsh with tclsh that was by configure in
pltcl_*mod scripts. For example, On freebsd, tclsh can be called
tclsh8.2 or
tclsh8.3 depending on installed version of Tcl.

After patching files
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod
must be renamed(copied,repocopied) to
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod.in

Tom Lane d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

* doc/src/sgml/docguide.sgml: Explain how it was done.  Explain how
INSTALL and HISTORY are (now) generated.

* doc/src/sgml/Makefile: Implement HISTORY generation to be analoguous
to INSTALL.
2000-10-17 15:26:40 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 06dc338ee9 Here is a patch against the same cvs tree as the SSL patch (Aug 20).
I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)

This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

Peter Eisentraut 996832caee Make the location of the Kerberos server key file run time configurable
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()

is one.
