Thread: Building for 64-bit platform
Hi, I build libpq with the standard configure/dmake. Now I realize I need t build it for a 64-bit platform. My questions are: Is it enough to ust do [code] cd libpq CFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure dmake [/code] or I have to do: [code] dmake clean [/code] ? 2. Is my configure line above correct? Or PostgreSQL configure contains special flags for 64 bit builds already? Thank you.

Maybe you can get away with a partial rebuild, but there is no way that it's worth your time to experiment. On any machine built in the last two decades, you could have already finished a full rebuild in the time it took me to type this. On the other hand, if you do a partial rebuild and it turns out to be broken, you could waste many hours figuring that out. regards, tom lane
