From 24cab1e8d158661041f857a8853f936ad54a9b5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2005 05:13:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update item for install with spaces: > There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a > source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install > into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not > possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support > spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in > the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it > is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and > then copy the install to a directory with spaces. --- doc/TODO | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/doc/TODO b/doc/TODO index 51dbb21be81..819cc26c91d 100644 --- a/doc/TODO +++ b/doc/TODO @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ TODO list for PostgreSQL ======================== Current maintainer: Bruce Momjian (pgman@candle.pha.pa.us) -Last updated: Sun Jan 2 16:08:00 EST 2005 +Last updated: Tue Jan 4 00:13:28 EST 2005 The most recent version of this document can be viewed at the PostgreSQL web site, http://www.PostgreSQL.org. @@ -897,6 +897,14 @@ Source Code * Allow ecpg to work with MSVC and BCC * Allow building with directories containing spaces + There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a + source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install + into a directory that contains spaces.
