Re: Hacking PostgreSQL to work in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther 7B85)

Hi Marko,

I've done a checkout from CVS and performed a build under OS X Panther
7B85 with the non-hacked header files. The problem with the param.h
header file seems to be fixed, however the build is failing with
undefined symbols in libs:

make -C ecpglib all
gcc -no-cpp-precomp -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -bundle execute.o typename.o descriptor.o
data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o connect.o misc.o
-L../../../../src/port -L/opt/local/lib -L../pgtypeslib -lpgtypes
-L../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -lm -o libecpg.so.4.0
ld: Undefined symbols:
_PQfreemem
_PQresultErrorField
_PQsetNoticeReceiver
_last_path_separator

I noticed it's not linking with the "-undefined suppress" flag which
I've found it required when building 'bundles' for darwin.

Cheers,
