Some makefile simplifications.

Add DLLINIT variable to simplify makfiles.

Make sure export file, if any, is cleaned.

Tcl configuration is now read directly in configure and recorded in
Makefile.global.  This eliminates some duplicate efforts and allows
for easier hand-editing of the results, if necessary.

an already installed iODBC or unixODBC driver manager.  In particular,
use the include files provided by the driver manager over our own,
and use the odbcinst library of the driver manager rather than gpps.c.

Migrate portability sections common to several files into psqlodbc.h.

more recent versions of the IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).
The C++ part was previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk.
Only AIX specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with $(COMPILER
) instead
of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter -C to nm to not demangle C++ symbo
ls for
.exp file)).

I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.

With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake check" for both
 the native
compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)

This form seemed to be the most portable, readable, and logical, but in any
case it's better than having a dozen different ones in the tree.

C++ compiler that goes with your favourite C compiler might not work.)

Bruce Hartzler <bruceh@mail.utexas.edu>.  It contains shared library
support, regression test map, and the usual template files.  The dynamic
loader is missing, the spin lock code apparently doesn't assemble due to
syntax problems, and semaphores are to be hoped for from Apple.

like this option.

the -l options.  (This was not the case when using the  OpenSSL or Kerberos
options.)  Also make sure that shared library links get to see all the -L
options.  Get Kerberos 5 support to compile on Redhat 7.0.  Add OpenSSL and
-lsocket (if used/found) to libpq link.

particular, allow linking with arbitrary commands rather than only $(AR) or
$(LD), and treat C++ without hacks.

Add option to disable shared libraries.  This takes the place of the
BSD_SHLIB variable.  The regression test driver ignores the plpgsql test
if there are no shared libraries available.

source directory.  This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".".  (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)

Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS).  Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

anyway, the rest being due to them not being kept in sync.  Add configure
test for lorder and use it (on Solaris) when found.

        Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :

        * beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
        * beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
        * expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
        * regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
        * dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)

        Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.

DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

The problem with the current settings is that the linker is called
directly.  This is wrong, it should always be called through the
compiler
driver (the only exception is `ld -r').  This will make sure that the
necessary libraries like libgcc are linked in.

But there is still a different problem with the setting of LDFLAGS_ODBC.
The psqlodbc module defines the functions _init and _fini which are
reserved for the shared library initialisation.  These should be changed
to constructor functions.  Then LDFLAGS_ODBC can be changed to be just
`-lm'.  Btw, why does it use -Bsymbolic?
