<title>Configuration Options</title>
<sect1>
<title>Parameters for Configuration
(<application>configure</application>)</title>
<para>
The full set of parameters available in <application>configure</application>
can be obtained by typing
<programlisting>
$ ./configure --help
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The following parameters may be of interest to installers:
<programlisting>
Directories to install PostgreSQL in:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local/pgsql]
--bindir=DIR user executables in DIR [EPREFIX/bin]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries in DIR [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files in DIR [PREFIX/include]
--mandir=DIR man documentation in DIR [PREFIX/man]
Features and packages:
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
--enable and --with options recognized:
--with-template=<replaceable>template</replaceable>
use operating system template file
see template directory
--with-includes=<replaceable>dirs</replaceable> look for header files for tcl/tk, etc in DIRS
--with-libraries=<replaceable>dirs</replaceable> look for additional libraries in DIRS
--with-libs=<replaceable>dirs</replaceable> alternate spelling of --with-libraries
--enable-locale enable locale support
--enable-recode enable cyrillic recode support
--enable-multibyte enable multibyte character support
--with-pgport=<replaceable>portnum</replaceable> change default postmaster port
--with-maxbackends=<replaceable>n</replaceable> set default maximum number of server processes
--with-tcl build Tcl interfaces and pgtclsh
--with-tclconfig=<replaceable>tcldir</replaceable>
tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh are in DIR
--with-perl build Perl interface and plperl
--with-odbc build ODBC driver package
--with-odbcinst=<replaceable>odbcdir</replaceable>
change default directory for odbcinst.ini
--enable-cassert enable assertion checks (for debugging)
--enable-debug build with debugging symbols (-g)
--with-CC=<replaceable>compiler</replaceable>
use specific C compiler
--with-CXX=<replaceable>compiler</replaceable>
use specific C++ compiler
--without-CXX prevent building C++ code
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Some systems may have trouble building a specific feature of
<productname>Postgres</productname>. For example, systems with a damaged
C++ compiler may need to specify <option>--without-CXX</option> to instruct
the build procedure to skip construction of <filename>libpq++</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Use the <option>--with-includes</option> and
<option>--with-libraries</option> options if you want to build
<productname>Postgres</productname> using include files or libraries
that are not installed in your system's standard search path. For
example, you might use these to build with an experimental version of
Tcl. If you need to specify more than one nonstandard directory for
include files or libraries, do it like this:
<programlisting>
--with-includes="/opt/tcl/include /opt/perl5/include"
</programlisting>
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1>
<title>Parameters for Building (<application>make</application>)</title>
<para>
Many installation-related parameters can be set in the building
stage of <productname>Postgres</productname> installation.
</para>
<para>
In most cases, these parameters should be placed in a file,
<filename>Makefile.custom</filename>, intended just for that purpose.
The default distribution does not contain this optional file, so you
will create it using a text editor of your choice. When upgrading installations,
you can simply copy your old Makefile.custom to the new installation before
doing the build.
</para>
<para>
Alternatively, you can set variables on the <application>make</application>
command line:
<programlisting>
make [ <replaceable>variable</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable> [...] ]
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
A few of the many variables that can be specified are:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<envar>POSTGRESDIR</envar>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Top of the installation tree.

<application>Postgres</application> server code development.

<Graphic Align="center" FileRef="layout.gif" Format="GIF"></Graphic>
</Figure>
<XRef LinkEnd="ADMIN-LAYOUT" EndTerm="ADMIN-LAYOUT">
shows how the <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> distribution is laid
out when installed in the default way. For simplicity,
we will assume that <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>
has been installed in the
directory <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</filename>. Therefore, wherever
you see the directory <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</filename> you should
substitute the name of the directory where
<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> is
actually installed.
All <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> commands are installed
in the directory
<filename>/usr/local/pgsql/bin</filename>. Therefore, you should add
this directory to your shell command path. If you use
a variant of the Berkeley C shell, such as csh or tcsh,
you would add
<ProgramListing>
set path = ( /usr/local/pgsql/bin path )
</ProgramListing>
in the .login file in your home directory. If you use
a variant of the Bourne shell, such as sh, ksh, or
bash, then you would add
<ProgramListing>
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
export PATH
</ProgramListing>
to the .profile file in your home directory.
From now on, we will assume that you have added the
<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> bin directory to your path.
In addition, we
will make frequent reference to "setting a shell
variable" or "setting an environment variable" throughout
this document. If you did not fully understand the
last paragraph on modifying your search path, you
should consult the Unix manual pages that describe your
shell before going any further.
</Para>
<Para>
If you have not set things up in the
default way, you may have some more work to do.
For example, if the database server machine is a remote machine, you
will need to set the <envar>PGHOST</envar> environment variable to the name
of the database server machine. The environment variable
<envar>PGPORT</envar> may also have to be set. The bottom line is this: if
you try to start an application program and it complains
that it cannot connect to the <Application>postmaster</Application>,
you must go back and make sure that your
environment is properly set up.

This file helps in generating the INSTALL text file that lives in the

this:
1. Paste together with installation.sgml
2. Process with jade to HTML (use -V nochunks)
3. Remove "Chapter 1" heading
4. Save as text file in Netscape
5. Put in place of old INSTALL file
Running `make INSTALL' in the doc/src/sgml directory will do 1 through
