Re: [HACKERS] pg_config --configure ...

Sweet, that's it ... could you add an EXAMPLE section to the man page 
showing this?  Seems I'm not the only one that was a bit confused how to 
use it, based on other 'try this' that ppl sent :)

[HACKERS] pg_config --configure ...

2005-06-08 Thread Marc G. Fournier


How are ppl using this?  I'm trying to use it to re-configure, having 
tried both tcsh and bash, and neither seem to 'work':


# ./configure `pg_config --configure`
configure: error: invalid variable name: '--with-libraries

So, is there another way I can use the output from pg_config to pass to 
configure?


Thanks ...

I usually just look at config.log, and copy and
paste...but I am guessing you are trying to automate
this. Looks like pg_config adds '' around each option
when specifying --configure (i.e. '--with-libraries'),
at least on my system (Linux, PG803). You can try to
get rid of the ''. This seems to work on my system:

./configure `pg_config --configure | tr '  `

I'm not a shell guru by any means, so there might be a
better way...

Thought of that too, still blows up:

pgsql74# ./configure `pg_config --configure | tr '  `
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: error: unrecognized option: -rpath=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
Try `./configure --help' for more information.

Have you tried eval or xargs?

eval ./configure `pg_config --configure`
pg_config --configure | xargs ./configure

Both work for me in simple tests; I haven't given much thought to
what might make them fail, though

How about

./configure `pg_config --configure|sed s/\'//g`

Cheers
