2017-06-15Make configure check for IPC::Run when --enable-tap-tests is specified.Tom Lane
The TAP tests mostly don't work without IPC::Run, and the reason for the failure is not immediately obvious from the error messages you get. So teach configure to reject --enable-tap-tests unless IPC::Run exists. Mostly this just involves adding ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 from the GNU autoconf archives. This was discussed last year, but we held off on the theory that we might be switching to CMake soon. That's evidently not happening for v10, so let's absorb this now.

2017-03-23ICU supportPeter Eisentraut
Add a column collprovider to pg_collation that determines which library provides the collation data. The existing choices are default and libc, and this adds an icu choice, which uses the ICU4C library. The pg_locale_t type is changed to a union that contains the provider-specific locale handles. Users of locale information are changed to look into that struct for the appropriate handle to use. Also add a collversion column that records the version of the collation when it is created, and check at run time whether it is still the same. This detects potentially incompatible library upgrades that can corrupt indexes and other structures. This is currently only supported by ICU-provided collations. initdb initializes the default collation set as before from the `locale -a` output but also adds all available ICU locales with a "-x-icu" appended. Currently, ICU-provided collations can only be explicitly named collations. The global database locales are still always libc-provided. ICU support is enabled by configure --with-icu.

2015-07-08Replace our hacked version of ax_pthread.m4 with latest upstream version.Heikki Linnakangas
Our version was different from the upstream version in that we tried to use all possible pthread-related flags that the compiler accepts, rather than just the first one that works. That change was made in commit e48322a6d6cfce1ec52ab303441df329ddbc04d1, to work-around a bug affecting GCC versions 3.2 and below (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8888), although we didn't realize that it was a GCC bug at the time. We hardly care about that old GCC versions anymore, so we no longer need that workaround. This fixes the macro for compilers that print warnings with the chosen flags. That's pretty annoying on its own right, but it also inconspicuously disabled thread-safety, because we refused to use any pthread-related flags if the compiler produced warnings. Max Filippov reported that problem when linking with uClibc and OpenSSL. The warnings-check was added because the workaround for the GCC bug caused warnings otherwise, so it's no longer needed either. We can just use the upstream version as is. If you really want to compile with GCC version 3.2 or older, you can still work-around it manually by setting PTHREAD_CFLAGS="-pthread -lpthread" manually on the configure command line. Backpatch to 9.5. I don't want to unnecessarily rock the boat on stable branches, but 9.5 seems like fair game.

2004-04-23Add new auto-detection of thread flags.Bruce Momjian
Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates. Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new configure script.

configuration.
2002-03-29Upgrade to Autoconf version 2.53. Replaced many custom macroPeter Eisentraut
calls with new or now-built-in versions. Make sure that all calls to AC_DEFINE have a third argument, for possible use of autoheader in the future.
2001-08-26Put the right runpath to libpq into the Perl module shared object on morePeter Eisentraut
platforms and without relinking. Also support VPATH builds and DESTDIR installs. One hopes.
2001-03-05Ok, I've split todays commit into three, the first two already done had somePeter Mount
bits in JDBC & the first set of tools into contrib. This is the third, and deals with enabling JDBC to be compiled with the main source. What it does is add a new option to configure: --with-java This option tells configure to look for ant (our build tool of choice) and if found, it then compiles both the JDBC driver and the new tools as part of the normal make. Also, when the postgresql install is done, all the .jar files are also installed into the ${PGLIB}/java directory (thought best to keep then separate) Now I had some conflicts when this applied so could someone please double check that everything is ok?

2000-11-05Add some configure checks for DocBook and related tools. With a somewhatPeter Eisentraut
standard installation layout it should be possible to build the HTML and print documentation without additional manual setup.
2000-10-20Add check for GNU or not GNU ld, needed to pick the right export_dynamicPeter Eisentraut
flags for Solaris. The test itself is straight from libtool.
2000-09-25Revise Tcl/Tk configuration. Make missing Tcl after --with-tcl an error,Peter Eisentraut
add --without-tk option to disable Tk. We don't need the AC_PATH_XTRA test because tkConfig.sh already contains all the information about how to compile and link with X. Also make sure that libpq is up to date for libpgtcl. Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.
2000-09-21Replace brain-dead Autoconf macros AC_ARG_{ENABLE,WITH} with somethingPeter Eisentraut
that's actually useful, robust, consistent. Better plan to generate aclocal.m4 as well: use m4 include directives, rather than cat.
2000-08-29Revert removal of signed, volatile, and signal handler arg type tests.Peter Eisentraut
2000-08-28New configure test for flex, which recognizes only flex but does so in allPeter Eisentraut
incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that users can continue building anyway.
2000-08-27Remove configure tests for `signed', `volatile', and signal handler args;Peter Eisentraut
the harm potential outweighs the possible benefits.
2000-08-26Fix AC_FUNC_ACCEPT_ARGTYPES to accept `const struct sockaddr *' as secondPeter Eisentraut
argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the combinations succeed.
2000-06-14Big warnings cleanup for Solaris/GCC. Down to about 40 now, butPeter Eisentraut
we'll get there one day. Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't have automake installed. Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically because of CVS timestamp skew.
2000-06-11Substituted new configure test for types of accept()Peter Eisentraut
Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming adjustments. Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests. Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl. And it breaks equally often. :(
2000-06-10Moved the intricacies of the perl interface build into its own makefilePeter Eisentraut
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl, which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl respects the choice of --libdir. Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface. Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff. Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree. Eventually, each make file should have its own. Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.
