Thread: Cannot compile psql
I just tried recompiling the latest source for the first time in weeks, but it appears I cannot compile pgsql. My source should be up-to-date since I use cvsup everytime I go online. But during compile I get: gcc -I../../interfaces/libpq -I../../include -I../../backend -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -c -o common.o common.c In file included from ../../include/postgres.h:41, from ../../interfaces/libpq/pqsignal.h:20, from common.c:23: ../../include/utils/mcxt.h:25: syntax error before `MemoryContext' make[2]: *** [common.o] Error 1 Is this a problem on my site?

I assume you have configured --with-mb=something *before* make. --with-mb does not seem to work anymore. Try: make distclean ./configure --enable-multibyte[=something] Seems we have to warn if --with-mb is used, otherwise multibyte users would complain about it. -- Tatsuo Ishii

But during compile I get: Sorry, my previous mail was wrong. You are compiling psql, right? I do not see any problem on my Linux box (based on RH 5.2). Maybe make distclean and re-configure would help. -- Tatsuo Ishii

That line reads
extern DLLIMPORT MemoryContext CurrentMemoryContext;
I'll bet you are trying to compile with a Windoze-oriented config.h
that causes DLLIMPORT to expand to something nonempty. Try
reconfiguring.

I wanted to do that, but as soon as you put that option back in it shows up in --help output, which is against the point of it being deprecated. -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115 peter_e@gmx.net 75262 Uppsala http://yi.org/peter-e/ Sweden

Hmm. Look at the bottom of include/c.h --- it should be impossible
for DLLIMPORT to be nonempty unless __CYGWIN32__ is defined. So where
is that definition coming from?

Oh, that's interesting, because there are a dozen or so files that
reference DLLIMPORT. Maybe you should be looking at what is included
by the file with the error (and not by any other files...)
