Thread: Request for help setting up source tree
Hi, I want to make an extension but don't understand the source setup well. a) Do I need the full source of postgres locally? b) Where must the source be? The project dir is ~/nbprojects/my_pg_ext and I am using the code of the fuzzystrmatch contrib as my "template" from where to start c) My installation of postgres is 9.1.6 and I don't intend to upgrade for now. Can I use an extension compiled against 9.2.x code in my 9.1.6 installation? I am using the Netbeans IDE but also understand Eclipse. Thanks for any help/info. RD
Ok, that was a stupid question to ask, what comes from falling in panic and suspending thinking before talking :-(
So then :-)
Solution in case anybody else panics:
a) install the postgresql-devel package from yum
b) add the include directory '/usr/include/pgsql/server' in your IDE. In Netbeans 7.3b2 that would be in
Tools -> Options -> C/C++ -> Code Assistance -> C Compiler
and suddenly everything works ...
So then :-)
