Operating System: Mac OS X 10.1.1 (Build 5M28)
PostgreSQL Version: CVS checkout as of Nov 17, 2001
Problem Category: Building
After running ./configure and then "make all" the build stopped with the
message
cc -traditional-cpp -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -I../../../src/include -c -o analyze.o analyze.c
analyze.c:23: parser/parse.h: No such file or directory
I looked at the part of the build messages where parse.h is supposed to
get built and I didn't see any problems:
make -C parser parse.h
bison -y -d gram.y
mv -f y.tab.c ./gram.c
mv -f y.tab.h ./parse.h
prereqdir=`cd parser/ >/dev/null && pwd` && \
cd ../../src/include/parser/ && rm -f parse.h && \
ln -s $prereqdir/parse.h .
with no error messages.
The base directory of my build was /Volumes/SCSI Volume/devel/pgsql. I
had a wild hunch that the space in the "SCSI Volume" part of my path was
to blame, so I unpacked a clean copy of the source material to
/usr/local/src/pgsql (no spaces in path name), redid the ./configure and
make phase and all built fine.
Obviously this is hampering my development, but I figured I'd pass it
along since you never know who's going to get hit unawares with this.
(Especially those pesky Mac people who like spaces in their folder
names.)
Cheers!
