From 33a6dcfcce4e631861ffcc878183220ae4b4c6d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2005 05:35:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update wording: < * Allow building with directories containing spaces > * Allow building in 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. 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. > This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools > do not fully support quoting of paths with spaces. > > * Allow installing to directories containing spaces > > This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the > install targets. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it > is already possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain > spaces and then copy the install to a directory with spaces. --- doc/TODO | 23 ++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/TODO b/doc/TODO index 819cc26c91d..6a2dc6dfd4b 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: Tue Jan 4 00:13:28 EST 2005 +Last updated: Tue Jan 4 00:35:42 EST 2005 The most recent version of this document can be viewed at the PostgreSQL web site, http://www.PostgreSQL.org. @@ -895,16 +895,17 @@ Source Code * Allow cross-compiling by generating the zic database on the target system * Improve NLS maintenace of libpgport messages linked onto applications * 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.
