What I want is this:
In configure.in, call
AC_REPLACE_FUNCS([inet_aton ...]) # the whole list
If you need more sophisticated checks on top of "function exists", you
keep the existing tests, but instead of, say,
SNPRINTF=snprintf.c
AC_SUBST(SNPRINTF)
you'd call
AC_LIBOBJ(snprintf)
In Makefile.global.in:
LIBOBJS = @LIBOBJS@
In utils/port/Makefile:
libpgport.a: $(LIBOBJS)ar crs $@ $^
In Makefile.global.in:
Add -L$(top_builddir)/src/port to LDFLAGS (near the start), -lpgport to
LIBS (near the end).
Then you need to make sure that the src/port directory is build before
being referred to.
In the libpq makefile, you can write the rules like:
ifneq(,$(filter snprintf.o, $(LIBOBJS)))
# do what it's doing now in case of 'ifdef SNPRINF'
endif
Caveat implementor.
