Hi guys,

I've been trying to build the cvs checkout of 8.1.3 on my freebsd 4.9 box with a STATIC psql utility. I keep getting failures trying to hook in libreadline I think:

lreadline -lcrypt -lcompat -lm -lutil  -o psql
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `_rl_get_screen_size':
terminal.o(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `tgetnum'
terminal.o(.text+0xdd): undefined reference to `tgetnum'
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `rl_resize_terminal':
terminal.o(.text+0x1ce): undefined reference to `tgetstr'
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `_rl_init_terminal_io':
terminal.o(.text+0x2c6): undefined reference to `tgetent'
terminal.o(.text+0x4a9): undefined reference to `tgetflag'
...more...

It builds fine if I use --disable-readline, but other than that I simply can't get it to build. I've done gmake distclean, reconfigured, etc.

How do I get this to work? I've basically just added '-static' to the psql Makefile, eg: 'psql: ${CC} -static ...'

I can build static pg_dump and pg_dumpall just fine (they don't use readline though of course.)


Add a -lcurses as well, as it seems that as soon as you force static, libreadline needs to be told explicitly about libcurses. I'm on FreeBSD 6.0, but hopefully this is what is going on on 4.9 too.

Cheers

Mark
