Bug 486674 – app-admin/eselect-postgresql with >=dev-db/postgresql-base-9.3 should generate /usr/include/pg_config_ext.h symlink

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2013-10-01 14:47:28 UTC]

eselect-postgresql-1.2.0/postgresql.eselect contains:

    # Sources and targets for header files
    local sources=(
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgresql-${SLOT}
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgresql-${SLOT}/libpq-fe.h
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgresql-${SLOT}/pg_config_manual.h
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgresql-${SLOT}/libpq
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgresql-${SLOT}/postgres_ext.h
    )
    local targets=(
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgresql
        "${B_PATH}"/include/libpq-fe.h
        "${B_PATH}"/include/pg_config_manual.h
        "${B_PATH}"/include/libpq
        "${B_PATH}"/include/postgres_ext.h
    )

Between postgresql-base-9.2.4 and postgresql-base-9.3.0 postgres_ext.h started to #include pg_config_ext.h.

$ cd /tmp
$ echo '#include <libpq-fe.h>' > test.c
$ gcc -c test.c
In file included from /usr/include/libpq-fe.h:29:0,
                 from test.c:1:
/usr/include/postgres_ext.h:26:27: fatal error: pg_config_ext.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I'm considering removing the header symlinks from the eselect module. Build systems or command-line should be using pg_config to get the include directory, not guessing.

However, I'll include this for now as removing it will take some coordination.
