Actually you could just list them in OBJS_FRONTEND in src/common. That way they're not built for the server at all; no need for a new subdir. The libpq dependency argument AFAICS only applies to the ones in src/bin/psql. Perhaps we could have feutils with those only, and move the other files to src/common. I'm unclear on the #ifndef PGSCRIPTS thingy in mbprint.c. Perhaps it's no longer needed? -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
