Thread: no library dependency in Makefile?
Hi,
Recently, I found 'psql' is not rebuilt automatically after
editing 'fe_utils/psqlscan.l'.
The detail is:
'psqlscan.l' is part of 'libpgfeutils.a' which will be built
into 'psql' statically. But there is no dependency rule between
them.
It's OK for 'libpq' since 'libpq' is a dynamic library.
For a static library such as 'libpgfeutils.a', should we
add dependency rule in Makefile?
--
Is this a problem or not?
A simple fix:
2. using GNU make's function to generate '-Lxxx -lxxx' for items in STLIBS
For example: libpgfeutils.a in psql's Makefile:
'''
# function to generate '-Lxxx -lxxx', may put in another file
expand_stlibs = $(patsubst %,-L%,$(dir $(1))) $(patsubst lib%.a,-l%,$(notdir $(1)))
# static lib
STLIBS := $(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils/libpgfeutils.a
# add STLIBS as normal prerequisite
psql: $(OBJS) $(STLIBS) | submake-libpq submake-libpgport submake-libpgfeutils
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_EX) $(LIBS) -o $@$(X)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_EX) $(LIBS) -o $@$(X)

LDFLAGS in the example changed to:

I very much look forward to hearing everyone's views on this issue.
If the solution mentioned before is ok, I will start to complete it.
thanks

Hm. I think what you're saying is that when we copied the makefile patterns used for libpq.so to use for libpgport and libpgfeutils, we did the wrong thing because those are static not dynamic libraries. We don't have to relink psql if libpq.so gets some non-API-relevant changes, but we do need to relink it if libpgport.a does, so I suppose you are right. However, this doesn't seem like the right way to fix it: > # add STLIBS as normal prerequisite > psql: $(OBJS) $(STLIBS) | submake-libpq submake-libpgport submake-libpgfeutils > $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_EX) $(LIBS) -o $@$(X) Your point is that the static libraries should be treated as normal dependencies not order-only ones, so building that behavior like this seems pretty bizarre.

(I'm not sure this is right in detail, but my point is that we don't want order-only dependencies for these libraries.) regards, tom lane

Please don't top-post, it makes the flow of the conversation very hard
to follow.
Sorry, my fault, I am so anxious.

Thank you, I will try it this way.
The attached patch use normal dependency instead of order-only dependency
for static libraries.

Hi, all
Update version:
1. Re-base with head of master
2. Add some basic support for PGXS
After replacing submake-libpgport/submake-libpgfeutils with $(stlib_pgport)/$(stlib_pgfeutils) in
Makefiles of client programs, I think, may be we should add static lib
dependency for PGXS.
I can think two ways to do that: first, add a new PG_STLIBS variable, user need to
add static libs to it; second, we generate static lib dependency automatically
from PG_LIBS variable. Which one is better?
Thanks
