[postgis-devel] PGXS build Makefile

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi everyone,

It looks as if PostgreSQL 8.0 (formerly 7.5) is just about to hit beta
over the next few days. While there has been a lot of discussion over
some of the bigger features such as PITR and subtransactions, one of the
more interesting features from the PostGIS point of view is the
introduction of pgxs which is an architecture that allows contrib/
modules to be built without requiring a PostgreSQL source tree - it does
this by installing the required headers and Makefiles under
/lib/postgresql/pgxs when doing a "make install".

Attached is a Makefile that enables PostGIS CVS to compile under pgxs
(latest PostgreSQL CVS) without a source tree which I have tested with
USE_PROJ=1 but not with USE_GEOS=1 (I do not have GEOS up and running on
my development machine). Note that this is just a straight copy of what
is already there, so I haven't attempt to change USE_VERSION from 75 to
80 yet. Please test and review as appropriate.


Cheers,

Mark.
