Hi Greg,
I'm continuing to work on packaging 1.4.1rc2 for pkgsrc, this time on
NetBSD (to avoid Mac shlib oddness until everything else is ok). I am
building against postgresql 8.4.
I have a few observations/questions:
* The postgis library is installed as
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 552868 Dec 9 15:44 /usr/pkg/lib/libpostgis-1.4.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 926 Dec 9 15:44 /usr/pkg/lib/libpostgis-1.4.la
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Dec 9 15:44 /usr/pkg/lib/libpostgis-1.4.so
-> libpostgis-1.4.so.0.0.0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Dec 9 15:44 /usr/pkg/lib/libpostgis-1.4.so.0
-> libpostgis-1.4.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 268310 Dec 9 15:44
/usr/pkg/lib/libpostgis-1.4.so.0.0.0
which is autoconf default $(libdir) for --prefix=/usr/pkg. But
pg_config --pkglibdir is
$ pg_config --pkglibdir
/usr/pkg/lib/postgresql
and configure was invoked:
./configure --enable-rpath --datadir=/usr/pkg/share/postgresql/contrib
--without -libintl-prefix --without-libiconv-prefix --prefix=/usr/pkg
--build=i386--netbsdelf --host=i386--netbsdelf --mandir=/usr/pkg/man
Where is it really supposed to go?
* postgis.sql does not get the path to the postgis library substituted.
I don't get how $$libdir is supposed to be expanded by gmake:
%.sql: %.sql.in
sed
's,MODULE_PATHNAME,$$libdir/$...@postgis_major_version@....@postgis_minor_version@,g'
$< >$@
gmake runs
sed 's,MODULE_PATHNAME,$libdir/postgis-1.4,g' postgis.sql.in >postgis.sql
which results in the installed postgis.sql trying to load
$libdir/postgis-1.4 like this:
-- Deprecation in 1.2.3
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION spheroid_in(cstring)
RETURNS spheroid
AS '$libdir/postgis-1.4','ellipsoid_in'
LANGUAGE 'C' IMMUTABLE STRICT;
which does not work. So I think the make rule should use " not ' so
$libdir is expanded, and should say libpostgis instead of postgis. But
obviously this must work for others, so I suspect there's something odd
about what I'm doing.
No, I think you've misunderstood this. The build system simply replaces
MODULE_PATHNAME with $libdir/postgis-1.4. The library string
'$libdir/postgis-1.4' is correct because the $libdir substitution is
done by PostgreSQL at run-time and not by the build system.
If this doesn't work, perhaps you're either missing a dependency such as
PROJ/GEOS or you have multiple installations of PostgreSQL and you're
picking up the wrong pg_config? Checking the PostgreSQL server log can
help you here.
* top-level make install does not seem to descend into doc. Is this
intentional, or am I doing something wrong in packaging? I didn't
find this explained in README.postgis, but it doesn't mention docs
under installation.
Yeah - this is mainly because the documentation has some quite heavy
dependencies for example docbook, xslt and all sorts. We figured that
people would much rather read the documentation online rather than
install half of the known typesetting universe to build the documentation ;)
* in doc, there are some prebuilt man pages in the distribution tarball,
plus docbook. docbook is not listed as a dependency in
README.postgis, but it seems to be. Should I just add it as a
dependency? The other strategy is to prebuild the docs as part of
'make dist' and have the build system be willing to install those
built doc bits, but it's not like systems that can handle postgresql
can't handle the space for xml tools, so this probably doesn't make
sense.
I think I answered this above...
* liblwgeom does not get installed. The postgis library has U symbols
for things in lwgeom. There is makefile code to pull in objects from
liblwgeom.a into libpostgis.so, but that doesn't seem to work.
Clearly I need to look into this further, but would like to know the
plan so I can understand where my build is going wrong
Is there supposed to be a liblwgeom.a installed? Where?
Nope - it's currently a static library and so gets manually linked to
everything that needs it. In short, you don't need to worry about this.
HTH,
Mark.
