Thread: postgres.h missing? (fwd)
Hi tom, (erased your reply by accident :( I asked about this yesterday but I don't need postgres.h for building PHP. I need it for writing a C function. So do I just copy it manually from src/include/ ? TIA, thalis ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 18:04:56 -0400 (EDT) From: Thalis A. Kalfigopoulos <thalis@cs.pitt.edu> To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: postgres.h missing? I can see in the source dir the include file postgres.h (src/include/postgres.h) but it doesn't exist under the installationdir (under include I only have postgres_ext.h and _fe.h). Located a related article (http://faqchest.dynhost.com/prgm/pgsql-l/pgsql-01/pgsql-0104/pgsql-010404/pgsql01040314_23260.html)which implies that atleast for the php build, postgres_fe.h should do just fine (even though the opening comments in postgres_fe.h suggest thatpostgres.h should be in the same dir and used instead) Did I miss building something or should I use postgres_fe.h instead? TIA, thalis

That is not the issue but thanks anyway for the effort. The problem pertained: $ gcc -fpic -c -I/usr/local/pgsql/include/ cfunc.c In file included from cfunc.c:2: /usr/local/pgsql/include/postgres.h:49: utils/elog.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/pgsql/include/postgres.h:50: utils/palloc.h: No such file or directory So I actually used the postgres.h file from the src directory to make it work. $ gcc -fpic -c -I/usr/local/tmp/postgresql-7.1.2/src/include/ cfunc.c What I'm missing is: did I mis-build something? How come the postgres.h and rest .h files weren't properly installed? thanks, thalis > > > > > > TIA, > > thalis > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 18:04:56 -0400 (EDT) > > From: Thalis A.

How come the postgres.h and rest .h files weren't properly installed? Should I assume correctly that cfunc.c is something you wrote? If it is, instead of including postgresql.h, try including libpq-fe.h as that's the file that's installed. That should give you everything you need.

To do backend code development, you need to either add a -I pointing at
the source include tree, or do make install-all-headers.
If you are talking about client-side code, it probably shouldn't depend
on any of the backend-side headers.
