When config.status is out of date against configure, then
Makefile.global runs config.status --recheck, which internally runs the
original configure line with --no-create and --no-recursion added.
--no-create means not to create any output files, because the makefile
rules will create those.  --no-recursion means not to run any configure
scripts in subdirectories (we don't use that functionality).

It's arguably a bit confusing that config.log then records the configure
line with --no-create and --no-recursion added.  But other than that,
everything works as intended.

Interesting. Running config.status adds those --no-create --no-recursion
flags automatically. You can see them in the command-line at the top of
config.log, too. I never bothered to check what they do...


AIUI they have to do with config dependency checking (where a simple 
make will detect if config needs to run again or not). I've been bitten 
by this in the past as well. Maybe there's a way to get config to spit 
out a warning for those options and have make filter the warning out.

It looks more like self-inflicted damage from here:


./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/10 --enable-debug --with-python
--with-openssl --with-libraries=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
--with-includes=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include/ --no-create --no-recursion


Why are you using either --no-create or --no-recursion?  The former
*definitely* breaks things:

$ ./configure --help | grep create
  -n, --no-create do not create output files

Presumably the proximate cause of that error message is that configure
hasn't updated pg_config.h from some ancient version thereof, as a
consequence of this switch.

I'm not sure what --no-recursion does, but I would say that we'd
consider that unsupported as well.

That will teach me to copy and paste a config from somewhere ...

Thanks

[HACKERS] building HEAD on macos fails with #error no source of random numbers configured

2016-12-09 Thread Dave Cramer
Looking at src/port/pg_strong_random.c  this would be a bug in autoconf

#else
/* The autoconf script should not have allowed this */
#error no source of random numbers configured

My configure line is:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/10 --enable-debug --with-python
--with-openssl --with-libraries=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
--with-includes=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include/ --no-create --no-recursion

I am using openssl-1.0.2j

Regards,

Dave Cramer
