Read templates after compiler is detected. Convert all templates to real
shell scripts. Rename bsd->openbsd, alpha->osf.

Don't use DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO on Solaris. Don't define the
replacement function in the header file. Use -KPIC, not -K PIC.
Use CC to link C++ libraries, not ld/ar.

Eliminate file not found warnings in tcl build code.

CPP) to create platform independent files. Unfortunately, that means that
every config.status (or configure) run invariably causes a relink of the
postmaster and also that we can't put these files in the distribution
(usefully). So we make it a little smarter: when the output files already
exist and it notices that it would recreate them in identical form, it
doesn't touch them. In order to avoid re-running the make rule all the time
we update a timestamp file instead.

Update release_prep accordingly. Also make Gen_fmgrtab.sh use the awk that
is detected at configure time, not necessarily named `awk' and have it check
for exit statuses a little better.

In other news... Remove USE_LOCALE from the templates, it was set to `no'
everywhere anyway. Also remove YACC and YFLAGS from the templates, configure
is smart enough to find bison or yacc itself. Use AC_PROG_YACC for that
instead of the hand-crafted code. Do not set YFLAGS to `-d'. The make rules
that need this flag should explicitly invoke it. YFLAGS should be a user
variable. Update the makefiles to that effect.

unless you feed it -Aa or -Ae switch.  Autoconf does not know about this,
but we can fix it in the hpux_cc template file.  I knew templates were
good for something ;-)

as 'alphaev5', cf report from Stepanov 13-Apr-00.

It does work with the following patch applied and gcc 2.95.2 .

Use --with-template=aix_gcc to compile the whole lot with gcc.

The geometry regression test produces different precision.
With optimization I run into regression failures starting at oidjoins,
thus no -O2. Anybody else try gcc 2.95.2 and -O2 on beta4 ?

This is an important patch, since recent versions of the IBM compiler
are not for free, and thus most questions I get concern gcc.

Andreas

PS.: I am testing with beta4

Make similar changes to hpux templates.  Might want to do the same for
other foo_cc and foo_gcc pairs, but will desist until I hear from
someone who uses those platforms.

1. C++ style comments in C source for ecpg ( // comment )
2. compiler finds wrong include file extern.h in ecpg/lib/descriptor.c
from
include path instead of workdir (rename it ?)
3. fe-connect getsockopt takes a socklen_t as fifth arg not int (use
SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE instead)
4. char vs unsigned char in psql calls to libpq
5. empty define that results in an empty but terminated line ( ; )

Now for all but point 3 I can supply changes to the
compiler flags, to make the compiler less pedantic.
Or is someone interested in the complications ?

in the meantime can someone apply the attached patch ?

backend/Makefiles to be patched could significantly be reduced since
they
have been adopted to the QNX4 needs.

I have changed a bit the makefiles for the win32 port - the *.def files
(created when building shared libraries) are now clean from
Makefile.shlib.

I have also removed "-g" from CFLAGS in the "cygwin32" template - it can
be
enabled when running configure.

SHARED_LIB:

needs to be changed to:
SHARED_LIB:-lc

I think this was also needed on AIX 4.2. Comments Please !!

If nobody objects, I suggest to make this change, since it cannot
break AIX 4.2 and is necessary on AIX 4.3

since April 1?
