Error in Makefile

From

Hi,

I've found an error during the compilation of PostgreSQL 6.5 and PostgreSQL
6.5.1.
If I give the option for include TCL support, the compilation is interrupted
with following error:

ld -shared -x -soname -o pltcl.so pltcl.o -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl80
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot open pltcl.so: No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [pltcl.so] Error 1


I've fixed it quickly by hand changing the argument order of this comand,
in following manner:

$ cd pl/tcp
$ ld -shared -x -soname pltcl.o -o pltcl.so  -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl80


Some info about my system: FreeBSD 3.0 stable and every tools (gcc,
ld, gmake, flex, ...) is the standard given with this distribution.


Bye,                    \fer

OK, I run BSDI here, and this is the first time I have heard of this
problem.  The original line is clearly wrong.  Doing a 'gmake distclean'
I see:

    #$ rgrep soname
    ./Makefile.shlib:      LDFLAGS_SL       := -x -Bshareable -soname $(shlib)
    ./Makefile.shlib:      LDFLAGS_SL       := -x -shared -soname $(shlib)
    ./Makefile.shlib:  LDFLAGS_SL           := -Bdynamic -shared -soname $(shlib)

Now, configure is generating other files that have some bug where the
-soname does not have the proper handling.  Can you point me to where
this problem may be coming from?

pl/tcl doesn't use Makefile.shlib --- it relies on information from
the local Tcl installation to build a Tcl-compatible shlib.  I suspect
what we have here is either an error in Ferruccio's local tclConfig.sh,
or the pl/tcl Makefile is not fully understanding how to use the info
from tclConfig.sh.  If you can build pl/tcl on your system then I'm
guessing the former?  Hard to tell for sure, but it sure looks like
the shlib name is not getting inserted after -soname like it needs to.

            regards, tom lane

The tclConfig.sh comes from /usr/local/lib/tcl8.0/tclConfig.sh
and it's the SCCS: @# tclConfig.sh.in 1.20 97/07/01 11:40:19

If you need more information, you can ask me for.
Sorry I don't know TCL language yet and I can't be useful
to solve this.

With no one else seeing the problem, we may just have to wait for
another bug report.
