Thread: Cannot build JDBC driver in 7.1.3.

Cannot build JDBC driver in 7.1.3.

Hi,


I cannot build my JDBC driver.

I have installed pgsql 7.1.3 some time ago. I am trying to set up JDBC driver.
From the documentation, I was told to ./configure --prefix xxx --with-java
But I couldn't remember whether I did that when I install pgsql. Is there any
way to check if it is included? (Well, at least my java program with
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
returns "Unable to load Driver Class".

The docu also suggests to run make in /src/interfaces/jdbc. It returns:
buildfile ../../../build.xml -Dmajor=7 -Dminor=1 -Dfullversion=7.1.3 -Ddef_pgport=5432make: buildfile: Command not
found
make: [all] Error 127 (ignored)

An answer to an earlier question in email achive suggests to do the
./configure --with-java first. But I think the second attempt should be
independent from the ./configure one, isn't it?

Any idea what could be the reason?

My understanding is that the only thing that "--with-java" does is to
compile the jdbc driver jar file. This means that if you didn't build it on
your original install, all you need to do now is to download the jar file
from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html and put it in your classpath.
You may be able to find some useful hints for getting started here:
http://www.fankhausers.com/postgresql/jdbc/. The 7.2 driver will work fine
with a 7.1.3 backend.
