However, I noticed that some places --- not consistently everywhere --- were solving this with the low-tech method of just skipping AC_PATH_PROG if the variable is already set. We could apply that hack more consistently by inventing a PGAC_PATH_PROGS wrapper macro as I previously sketched, but for now just defining it as # Let the user override the search for $1 if test -z "$$1"; then AC_PATH_PROGS($@) fi (untested, but you get the idea). In the long run I would like to improve this to force the supplied value into absolute-path form, but I'd be content to ship v10 like that. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
