I'm having trouble building dbmail 2.0/cvs.
Mac 10.3.1, PG 7.4rc2, current developer tools (gcc 3.3). Postgres was
recently (yesterday) built from source, so I know I have at least a
nominally functioning system.
It seems like there's something screwy referring to libraries, as this
is what I get from a configure/make clean /make run. I will note that
the path to pg_config is strange, but it is valid.
I've just found the same problem recently. The build works fine on a
Linux and an OpenBSD machine, but fails on my Mac OS X 10.3.1 laptop.
I'm wondering if this might have something to do with static vs shared
libraries. I remember having the same problem a while back with another
project. The solution there was to put the '-lpq', which denoted that
we need to link with the 'libpq', at the back of every "linking call"
to gcc, like this:
instead of:
gcc -o executable -lpq object1.o object2.o
do this:
gcc -o executable object1.o object2.o -lpq
I've just tried that, by changing the linking calls to gcc by putting
the
'-L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq' at the back. And this works.
So, there is a solution. Only one problem left. How to change
Makefile.am and/or configure.in to make this work.
Is there anybody on the list with a little more experience than me
(virtually no experience with GNU autotools) who can shine a light on
this matter?
cheers,
Ilja
