[HACKERS] building HEAD on macos fails with #error no source of random numbers configured

Looking at src/port/pg_strong_random.c this would be a bug in autoconf
#else
/* The autoconf script should not have allowed this */
#error no source of random numbers configured
My configure line is:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/10 --enable-debug --with-python --with-openssl --with-libraries=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include/ --no-create --no-recursion
I am using openssl-1.0.2j

That will teach me to copy and paste a config from somewhere ...

It looks more like self-inflicted damage from here:

Why are you using either --no-create or --no-recursion? The former
*definitely* breaks things:
$ ./configure --help | grep create
-n, --no-create do not create output files
Presumably the proximate cause of that error message is that configure
hasn't updated pg_config.h from some ancient version thereof, as a
consequence of this switch.
I'm not sure what --no-recursion does, but I would say that we'd
consider that unsupported as well.

Interesting. Running config.status adds those --no-create --no-recursion flags automatically. You can see them in the command-line at the top of config.log, too. I never bothered to check what they do... - Heikki

AIUI they have to do with config dependency checking (where a simple make will detect if config needs to run again or not). I've been bitten by this in the past as well. Maybe there's a way to get config to spit out a warning for those options and have make filter the warning out. -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting, Austin TX Experts in Analytics, Data Architecture and PostgreSQL Data in Trouble?

When config.status is out of date against configure, then Makefile.global runs config.status --recheck, which internally runs the original configure line with --no-create and --no-recursion added. --no-create means not to create any output files, because the makefile rules will create those. --no-recursion means not to run any configure scripts in subdirectories (we don't use that functionality). It's arguably a bit confusing that config.log then records the configure line with --no-create and --no-recursion added. But other than that, everything works as intended. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
