Thread: mcxt.h

I tried to create a new user-defined type.  I use palloc() to create
storage for this type so I include palloc.h however, this generates
the following error.

[postgres@druid:contrib/chkpass] $ make
cc -g -O -fPIC -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -c chkpass.c
In file included from /usr/local/pgsql/include/postgres.h:44,                from chkpass.c:9:
/usr/local/pgsql/include/utils/palloc.h:30: utils/mcxt.h: No such file or directory

If I copy mcxt.h there I get this error.

[postgres@druid:contrib/chkpass] $ make
cc -g -O -fPIC -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -c chkpass.c
In file included from /usr/local/pgsql/include/utils/palloc.h:30,                from
/usr/local/pgsql/include/postgres.h:44,               from chkpass.c:9:
 
/usr/local/pgsql/include/utils/mcxt.h:25: syntax error before `MemoryContext'

If I remove the include from palloc.h I have problems with the use of
palloc because the macro expands to use CurrentMemoryContext which is
declared in mcxt.h.  Anyone know what the correct answer to this problem
might be?

How long since you updated your source code?  I took care of this
a couple weeks ago ... or so I thought ...

You do need to repeat the "make install" step to get the right stuff
put into /usr/local/pgsql/include/.
