This patch fixes linking on AIX. Relevant threads on psql-hackers: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg01020.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg01084.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg01109.php
Up to now, the default on AIX was to link statically. This was not intended; it's just that AIX has different ideas about shared libraries than Linux and nobody cared. --enable-rpath was matched to the AIX equivalent. I tested the patch on AIX 5.3 with gcc; it should also work with IBM's cc. The patch is backward compatible until AIX 4.3 at least, and I added a kludge to Makefile.shlib so that it should also build something operational on AIX 3.2.5. The change to src/interfaces/ecpg/test/Makefile.regress is not actually part of the patch, but without it building fails if you configure --with-ldap --disable-shared I tested building with --disable-shared and --enable-shared (with --enable-rpath and --disable-rpath). Yours, Laurenz Albe
