For building PL/Perl, PL/Python, and PL/Tcl, we need a shared library of libperl, libpython, and libtcl, respectively. Previously, this was checked in the makefiles, skipping the PL build with a warning if no shared library was available. Now this is checked in configure, with an error if no shared library is available. The previous situation arose because in the olden days, the configure options --with-perl, --with-python, and --with-tcl controlled whether frontend interfaces for those languages would be built. The procedural languages were added later, and shared libraries were often not available in the beginning. So it was decided skip the builds of the procedural languages in those cases. The frontend interfaces have since been removed from the tree, and shared libraries are now available most of the time, so that setup makes much less sense now. Also, the new setup allows contrib modules and pgxs users to rely on the respective PLs being available based on configure flags. |
