The current version of dirmod.c causes a compilation failure under MingW: ../../../src/port/libpgport.a(dirmod.o.b)(.text+0xe1): In function `pgrename': e:/cygwin/opt/diff8c/pgsql/src/port/dirmod.c:38: undefined reference to `errstart' ../../../src/port/libpgport.a(dirmod.o.b)(.text+0xef):e:/cygwin/opt/diff8c/p gsql/src/port/dirmod.c:38: undefined reference to `elog_finish'
and so on. [dirmod.c provides replacements for unlink + rename under Win32. These functions are currently only ever used by the backend code, and by pg_resetxlog] One solution is, obviously, to drop the elog calls... A somewhat better solution is to move dirmod.c into src/backend/port(/win32?), and just compile dirmod.c directly into the backend. pg_resetxlog could then use dirmod.c just as it currently uses pg_crc.c (refer to Makefile in pg_resetxlog directory). One additional requirement would be for pg_resetxlog to be considered a FRONTEND component. Does anyone take issue with this (and/or is it advisable to add -DFRONTEND to pg_resetxlog Makefile; seems ok to me), or have a better idea, before I go create/submit a patch?
