patch to ebuild, to apply files/0.5-postgrespath.patch

While compiling dev-lua/luadbi-0.5 with USE="postgres sqlite -mysql":

gcc -c -o build/dbd_postgresql_main.o dbd/postgresql/main.c -g -pedantic -Wall -O2 -shared -fpic -I /usr/include/lua5.1 -I /usr/include/mysql -I /usr/include/p

In file included from dbd/postgresql/main.c:1:0:
dbd/postgresql/dbd_postgresql.h:2:25: fatal error: postgres_fe.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build/dbd_postgresql_main.o] Error 1
emake failed


Postgresql headers are installed (by dev-db/postgresql-base-9.0.3) in

/usr/include/postgresql-9.0/server/postgres_fe.h


Patch included.

(previous one was the patch diffed against /dev/null, this is more convenient)

I suspect that 'eselect postgresql' was the correct answer to the problem.

[Comment 4 Wicher Minnaard 2011-04-19 20:36:03 UTC]

Eselect:

#eselect postgresql show-all
Utilities:  9.0
Service:    9.0


I am under the impression that the problem is with the path to postgres_fe.h *inside* /usr/include/postgresql-*/ . Eselect just governs the /usr/include/postgresql symlink, right?

More than that, it places symlinks in common places to look for headers. postgres_fe.h is not explicitly one of them.

However, the version of the eselect module you're using doesn't create a '/usr/include/postgresql/' symlink. Upgrade to eselect-postgresql-1.0.7.

[Comment 6 Aaron W. Swenson 2011-04-19 21:47:56 UTC]

And upstream PostgreSQL does place postgres_fe.h in '/usr/include/postgresql/server/'. Upstream dev-lua/luadbi needs to be bugged about it.

[Comment 7 Wicher Minnaard 2011-04-19 23:09:24 UTC]

My previous eselect-postgresql did in fact create the /usr/include/postgresql symlink (which is why came to mention it in #c4).

Upgrading to eselect-postgresql-1.0.7 and reconfiguring didn't help. The patches I attached address the issue. Hope upstream resolves this.

[Comment 8 Rafał Mużyło 2011-04-20 13:14:06 UTC]

Note: 'pg_config --includedir-server'.
Thank you.

Reported upstream at http://code.google.com/p/luadbi/issues/detail?id=11.

[Comment 10 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2011-05-02 16:37:58 UTC]

Committed 0.5-r1 which includes the proposed patch, thanks!

[Comment 11 Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov (mva) 2013-05-12 16:57:23 UTC]

I also patch upstream's buildsystem[1] so i'll be possible to just
> PSQL_INC=-I/usr/include/postgresql/server
instead of both patches
