Compiling

Howdy,

I'm new to Solaris, and to rollling my own PGSQL.
GCC & GMAKE installed in: /opt/sfw/bin

My path is in this order: (and I removed that /usr/ucs or whatever everyone recommends you remove :) ).

/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:etc...

I did a gmake all. It came back with a "Postgres built successfully." message.
I did a gmake install. Everything is OK with the database. I can do everything with PostGres normal interfaces/clients.

I want to write a C++ app using the libpq++ library, but it was not built or installed.
I try to build it from the src/interfaces/libpq++ directory and I get the following errors:

# pwd

I can't find an xar application anywhere. Is this the 64bit version of Solaris ar program? If so, why is it calling that one?
Did I have to explicity tell ./configure that I wanted the libpq++ lib built?
I managed to stumble into a "building postgres on unix boxes" type tip page, where it mentioned that KPIC is the Sun C compiler directive for shared library creation. GCC should use the -fpic option instead. Why did some of the interfaces build, (libpq, java, odbc etc) and not libpq++?

Where is the KPIC option coming from? I've tried to do a grep on the Makefiles and come up empty. I may be looking in the wrong place as well. Can I do this by hand for the libpq++ lib?

Thanks in advance
