Обсуждение: Will there be tar files of separated interfaces?
I'm constructing the Debian packages for 7.3 and would like to find upstream tar files of libpq++, pgperl and pgeasy, so that people building from source can get the original upstream files (which some like to do). There are currently no tar files at gborg.postgresql.org.

Yes, that's what I have done. They are suffering deprivation from being expelled from the main tree. I have had to make changes to psqlodbc, perl5 and libpqpp, and to the src/interfaces/Makefile, to make them compile at all. For libpqpp, I had to arbitrarily define HAVE_NAMESPACE_STD and HAVE_CXX_STRING_HEADER, which were previously defined by configure. Is it the intention to bring these separate modules up to date before a final release of 7.3? -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer; behold, the devil shallcast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days; be thou faithfulunto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."

That would certainly be nice to do. I don't think any core team members
have the cycles to spare, though. Any volunteers out there?
In case it's not crystal clear already: part of the reason for pushing
these interfaces out to gborg is to make it possible for them to have
separate maintainers. If no maintainer(s) step up to tend a particular
interface, it *will* be left to die on the vine. The core committee
has its hands full dealing with the main distribution.

Many of the said projects need to know where libpq and the include files
are. Would it be sensible to create a config/pgsql.m4 file of autoconf
macros that they could use to find them? (Each seems to have its own ideas,
libpq++ seeming not to look at all..)
Next, where do packages tend to install libpq and the include files?
(For me, the default seems to be /usr/local/pgsql/{lib,include}, but for
example libpqxx looks in /usr/lib and /usr/include{,/postgresql} )
Cheers,
Patrick

If PostgreSQL is installed in a standard system place, then it should be found automatically. If it was installed in some private place, then you don't stand a chance of finding it anyway. This is really no different from any other software package. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
