So would one of you fine hackers be willing to add this feature?  If not, I'll
have a go of it.

Would this be best accomplished using a sub-directory which contains the header
files to install, or a make variable containing the headers?

Cheers,
Rob

There isn't any contrib module that would use it, so why bother?

 files to install, or a make variable containing the headers?

The latter.

[HACKERS] Header files installed for contrib modules?

2003-08-22 Thread Robert Creager

Hey,

Just wondering if there is currently any mechanism in the contrib makefile
hierarchy for installing header files into an appropriate directory.  I didn't
find anything.

I'm using PGSphere (spherical types/operators), and trying to help them out a
little here and there.  When I converted my application over to use their
type/operators, I found that although the shared library is installed fine,
there appears to be no method for installing the header files into the
production directory scheme.

Since the library is installed into the pgsql/lib directory, shouldn't the
header files required by server side development be installed into
pgsql/include? Maybe not by default, but with a 'install-all-headers' like
option?

Thanks,
Rob
