However, I'd like to configure postgresql using the additional flag '--enable-syslog'.
How can I add configuration parameters when installing a Fink package from source?
You have to edit the .info file and add them in the ConfigureParams: field. It's probably best to copy the .info file into your local tree to do this, so that any Fink updates don't clobber your modifications.
Thanks Alexander! A few more questions:
1) When moving the postgresql.info file to my local tree, do I have to replicate the directory structure from the unstable branch? That is, do I need to put my modified postgresql.info file in:
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/database/postgresql.info
2) What command should I run to reinstall postgresql with my additional configuration option?
I tried using 'fink rebuild postgresql', but the 'config.status' file didn't have '--enable_syslog' in the "Report bugs to... PostgreSQL config.status... configured by" area.
3) Are there any other commands or changes I'll need to make to successfully reinstall postgresql with this new configuration option?
