Well, my goal here was that we could use both ways of building for a while because we have no experience with how long command lines and argument lists we can handle portably. Eventually, we could ideally transform the subdirectory Makefiles from independently callable Makefiles to mere include files so we have only one big dependency tree at the top, which would get rid of the annoying and time-consuming directory traversal. This, however, raises other issues, such as that some compilers do not support creating output files in subdirectories. I tried to support all of this in parallel but didn't succeeed without creating a big mess. We can always come back to that later. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
