You can just use the Makefile.shlib rules normally and then rename the file during installation. PL/pgSQL does things this way: # In order to use Makefile.shlib, we allow it to build a static # library libplpgsql.a, which we just ignore, as well as a shared # library that it will insist on naming $(shlib). We don't want to # call it that when installed, however, so we ignore the install-shlib # rule and do this instead: install: installdirs all ifeq ($(enable_shared), yes) $(INSTALL_SHLIB) $(shlib) $(DESTDIR)$(pkglibdir)/plpgsql$(DLSUFFIX) else @echo "*****"; \ echo "* PL/pgSQL was not installed due to lack of shared library support."; \ echo "*****" endif -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
