Thread: trying to compile postgres with java support
trying to compile postgres with java support
using latest version of postgres, I am trying to
compile in java support, with the:
./configure --with-java
option and it just doesnt seem to work.
I have installed ANT and the SDK and JRE
and it just doesnt seem to work, is there
someone who has done this and knows how to set
up the paths and environment variables for ANT and
JAVA SDK so all this stuff is picked up by postgres
compile ?
Thanks in advance:

Eric,
Add the Ant and JDK directories to your PATH environment variables,
something like
setenv PATH "${PATH}:/opt/jakarta-ant-1.4.1/bin"
setenv PATH "${PATH}:/opt/j2sdk1.4.0/bin"
Use the appropriate form for whatever shell you are using.
Having done that, mine begins to compile and then fails with a message
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class RollbackException
location : package transaction
import javax.transaction.RollbackException
It's not clear to me whether I need to use J2EE rather than J2SE

What is the exact error message of configure or make or whatever produces the error? Additionally, which version of Postgresql are you trying to compile? You should have ant in your $PATH and setup $CLASSPATH correctly. Have you read the documentation?

If it says "which: no ant in ...", then your $PATH is wrong; include the directory in which ant lives. If you can start javac, the CLASSPATH should be fine anyway. Again, what's the exact error message, and which version of PostgreSQL are you trying to build?
