Thread: Re: build from Source: 9.0.1 / 9.1-alpha1 cannot build modules
Tom,
Turns out the make problem was actually one of my issuing 'make'. IE, the resolution was simply issuing 'gmake' explicitly. To add some special sauce to the recipe, the 'make' of the core server went without a hitch; was only the build of modules which did not work.... Kinda misleading.
Back in openSolaris days, by whatever PATH Black Magic, my habitual 'make' commands were actually getting to gnu make. Not so in default current builds of OpenIndiana. This may be of some use to someone.

Hm, 3.81 is a pretty popular version, so that doesn't seem to be the
answer. Did you look at exactly what was on the complained-of line?
It looks to me like it should be
top_srcdir = $(top_builddir)
which seems unobjectionable. But maybe there's something wrong
with your copy of Makefile.global.in.
BTW, was this a vpath build, or not?

Kinda misleading. That is interesting. What exactly is plain "make" invoking? In the past, people trying to use non-GNU make have not gotten anywhere near getting through a whole build --- and we've certainly not removed any of our gmake-isms. It seems like you must have something that's sort of 89% gmake, but not quite all the way there. regards, tom lane
Hi Everybody, My environment: Windows 2008 32 bit Postgres 9.0 I have two unrelated questions: 1. Permissions: When I create a login role with superuser privileges in pgAdminIII I have the option of indicating that the superuser willalso have the permission to: "can modify catalog directly", when I look at the sql that is generated by that gui, I donot see a corresponding sql permission, I see: "CREATE ROLE kasia LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'md5ff0508b7bb33909c096d1b447a17d09b' SUPERUSER VALID UNTIL 'infinity';" A. What does "can modify catalog directly" actually do? I looked it up and I found : "This option determines whether therole can modify system catalog directly or not." But that really does not tell me much. B. Why is there no sql level equivalent? When I revoke the "can modify catalog directly" permission I get the followingsql: UPDATE pg_authid SET rolcatupdate=false WHERE OID=17331::oid; 2. Postgres client dlls on windows I am trying to identify the dlls that are considered postgres client libraries In 8.3.8 and 8.4.1 they were: Libpq.dll, comerr32.dll, gssapi32.dll, k5sprt32.dll, libeay32.dll, libiconv2.dll, libintl3.dll, ssleay32.dll In 9.0 they seem to be: Libpq.dll, ssleay32.dll, libeay32.dll, libintl-8.dll - IS THIS CORRECT? - Looking at the libpq dependencies the rest seem to be windows os dll Thank you, Sincerely, Kasia

Hi Guillaume, Thanks for your reply I did a bit more testing with the superuser priv issue, and now I came to the conclusion that pgAdminIIImay be doing something silly. I created a user: bob In pgAdminIII I checked off the box for: can inherit from parent role, can create db object, superuser Got the following sql: CREATE ROLE bob LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'md51e9484aace238e7cb2609130fd87646e' SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB NOCREATEROLE; UPDATE pg_authid SET rolcapupdate=false WHERE rolname='bob'; Than I created bobb In pgAdminIII I checked off the box for: can inherit from parent role, can create db object, superuser, Can modify catalogdirectly Got the following sql: CREATE ROLE bobb LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'md51e9484aace238e7cb2609130fd87646e' SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB NOCREATEROLE; Conclusion: Sql level superuser = pgAdminIII superuser + can modify catalog directly This is misleading, I would call it a pgAdminIII bug but who knows maybe it is a feature...

I find this misleading too. I'm too tired right now to work on a fix, but it'll be easy and quick to do. I have a few things to commit tomorrow. I'll try to work on this at the same time.
