Possibly, yes... I don't know. I really need a list, then it is pretty easy to update all makefiles. > I thought we had a consensus of providing a template build environment > for external modules. Good! Where is it? I mean the template, not the consensus. > This half-baked attempt is not doing it.

In fact, it really depends on top_builddir, so by setting this macro appropriately it should work. Something like: top_builddir := $(shell pg_config --insbuilddir) include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.global This mean that relevant files must be installed in subdirectories that are named as the postgresql source tree... I agree that it is not beautiful, but it seems to me that it is the simplest way to have contrib-like makefiles outside of the main tree, and to be able to reuse the whole infrastructure. Obviously, any better idea is welcome, esp. if I do not have to do it myself;-) The current status is that *nothing* is provided, so I'm trying to have something better than nothing with a reasonnable effort. -- Fabien Coelho - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
