Cross-compile of 3rd-party extensions fails

From

Hi,

I am trying to cross-compile PostgreSQL 9.0.4 and a few
3rd-party external modules using Mingw32-w64 on Fedora 15
for 64-bit Windows. 64-bit Wine can be used to run the
64-bit pg_config.exe under Linux, so the USE_PGXS=1
machinery works. However, mingw64-make fails with the
following error:

[zozo@localhost postgis-1.5.3]$ mingw64-make

make -C liblwgeom
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/zozo/Schönig-számlák/w64/nsis/9.0/postgis-1.5.3/liblwgeom'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zozo/Schönig-számlák/w64/nsis/9.0/postgis-1.5.3/liblwgeom'
make -C postgis
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/zozo/Schönig-számlák/w64/nsis/9.0/postgis-1.5.3/postgis'

/home/zozo/.wine/dosdevices/z:/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../src/Makefile.port:63:
*** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zozo/Schönig-számlák/w64/nsis/9.0/postgis-1.5.3/postgis'
make: *** [postgis] Error 2


Line 63 in Makefile.port (src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 in this case) is this:

63: win32ver.rc: $(top_srcdir)/src/port/win32ver.rc
64:        sed -e 's;FILEDESC;$(PGFILEDESC);' -e 's;VFT_APP;$(PGFTYPE);' -e
's;_ICO_;$(PGICOSTR);' -e 's;\(VERSION.*\),0 *$$;\1,'`date '+%y%j' | sed 's/^0*//'`';' $< >$@
65:
66: win32ver.o: win32ver.rc
67:         $(WINDRES) -i $< -o $@ --include-dir=$(top_builddir)/src/include
--include-dir=$(srcdir)

Do we actually need win32ver.rc for the external MODULES/MODULE_big/PROGRAM?
win32ver.rc is not actually installed from the PostgreSQL source tree.
Commenting out the above lines in the installed Makefile.port allows make
to continue without errors.

Having a colon in a file name is not going to work with make.

I guess there is 'make' instead of '$(MAKE)' in Makefile somewhere?

Actually, it does work nicely. make has problems with a colon in the body of
a target name (IIRC, it's invalid, anyway but may be accepted if escaped),
but it doesn't complain if the filesystem give it filenames with colons in them.

What it really complains about it the "win32ver.rc:" target in the Makefile.port.

For cross-compiling postGIS, turns out that I only need the attached
patches applied in
     /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src
on the PostgreSQL side along with similar
    OPTION = $(winepath -u `$PG_CONFIG --option` | dos2unix)
treatments in the configure.ac where needed.
