Thread: New psql compile problem.

New psql compile problem.

From

Hi,

I have a small problem compiling the new psql code.

The dependency in the makefile on the sgml files seems to
be failing because of the '*'.

If I remove that dependancy everything is OK.

Perhaps it's my version of make.

bash-2.03$ make --version
GNU Make version 3.77, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Copyright (C) 1988, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98

Anyway, here's the section of the make log.

Keith.

Do you have sgml files in that directory?  You should.

The intend was that the sql_help.h would be prepared before distribution,
so people that don't have docs or don't have Perl or other weird problems
don't get that sort of problem, because after all it *is* a hack. We
already do the same with the pre-bisoned parsers.

Perhaps there is still a problem if the docs are installed one second
later than the psql subtree. How do you handle that with the parsers? Do
it the same here.

Right.  src/tools/release_prep is the script that generates derived
files that need to be valid in the distributed tarball.  You should
submit a patch that fixes that script to do "make sql_help.h" along
with its other duties.
