Hi,
I have done a little work concerning the famous PL/Perl compilation Error and
also into Interfaces/Perl5.
The confusing POLLUTE option is no more used to see these parts compiled.
I thinks it's now fully compatible with all Perl versions, yes Tom I use PPPort :-)
The way to put it into the distribution package is very simple.
1) Replace the current GNUmakefile in these directories src/interface/perl5 and src/pl/plperl
by those given in the attachment.
2) Copy the lastest version of the ppport.h file into the same directories (latest can be
found
on CPAN) I provide one in the attachment (the latest at this day Version 1.0007)
That done, just compile postgresql exactly as before (with ./configure --with-perl at least).
What I have done is very simple :
- cp Devel-PPPort-1.0007/ppport.h postgresql-snapshotsrc/pl/plperl/
- cp Devel-PPPort-1.0007/ppport.h postgresql-snapshot/src/interfaces/perl5/
And in the 2 GNUmakefile in the "Makefile: Makefile.PL" section:
- I have remove the call to the POLLUTE option
- Added the following lines at the begining of the section:
$(PERL) -x ppport.h *.c *.h *.xs > ppport.patch
patch < ppport.patch
rm ppport.patch
Thanks to Kenneth Albanowski for his PPPort.pm usefull package and to Tom Lane
for his ligth.
Note: the attachment is a tar of all modified and added files in the source tree.
