BTW, the installation documentation concerning Python (installation.sgml
lines 219ff) is badly in need of updates following this commit.

This is hurting OSX platforms at least older than 10.6 (I can get
configure working on my 10.8 laptop), and OpenBSD.

The OpenBSD case is intentional, because that would previously silently
skip the build, which is what we wanted to get rid of.

The OS X case, who knows.  I have put back the explicit platform
detection that was previously there to fix that.





This has also broken frogmouth, which hitherto was happily build and 
running plpython. See

That was an oversight.  I have attempted a fix.

Re: [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Move interpreter shared library detection to configure

2015-05-01 Thread Michael Paquier
On Sat, May 2, 2015 at 10:39 AM, Peter Eisentraut pete...@gmx.net wrote:
 Move interpreter shared library detection to configure

 For building PL/Perl, PL/Python, and PL/Tcl, we need a shared library of
 libperl, libpython, and libtcl, respectively.  Previously, this was
 checked in the makefiles, skipping the PL build with a warning if no
 shared library was available.  Now this is checked in configure, with an
 error if no shared library is available.

 The previous situation arose because in the olden days, the configure
 options --with-perl, --with-python, and --with-tcl controlled whether
 frontend interfaces for those languages would be built.  The procedural
 languages were added later, and shared libraries were often not
 available in the beginning.  So it was decided skip the builds of the
 procedural languages in those cases.  The frontend interfaces have since
 been removed from the tree, and shared libraries are now available most
 of the time, so that setup makes much less sense now.

 Also, the new setup allows contrib modules and pgxs users to rely on the
 respective PLs being available based on configure flags.

This is hurting OSX platforms at least older than 10.6 (I can get
configure working on my 10.8 laptop), and OpenBSD.
