hi.
1. Does postgresql support building an extension in a separate directory
from the source files? For example, is this design officially
supported?
~$ mkdir -p $(BUILDDIR)
~$ make -C $(BUILDDIR) -f $(SRCDIR)/Makefile USE_PGXS=1 all
2. If so, what is the correct way to build object files for .c files
that are
located in their own subdirectories inside $(SRCDIR)? For example, in
$(SRCDIR)/Makefile it is written:
OBJS = src/a.c src/b.c
I'm getting:
gcc ... -c -o src/a.o ../src/a.c
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create src/a.o: No such file or directory
Patch which fixes this problem for me:
