See attached file. Now accepts "exec sql whenever sqlwarning".

src/Makefile.shlib.  Updated all the makefiles that try to build shlibs
to include that file instead of having duplicate (and mostly incomplete)
copies of shared-library options.  It works on HPUX, a lot better than it
did before in fact, but there's a chance I broke some other platforms.
At least now you only have to fix one place not six...

Get the permissions right, don't overwrite real files with symlinks, etc.
plpgsql and odbc still aren't fully up to speed, but at least they don't crash and burn...

        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS_SL) -o $@ ecpglib.sho typename.sho.o

must be
        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS_SL) -o $@ ecpglib.sho.o typename.sho.o

compile out of the tar file on Solaris with the SUN 5.0 compilers.
These compilers will be needed if you wan to compile the libpg++
interface without using the gcc/g++. The SC4.2 compilers do not
understand the string class.

The first patch changes the ecpg intermediate shared library
name from *.sho to *.sho.o so that the SUN compiler will
allow it to be used in conjunction with the -o option.

Matthew C. Aycock

Include soft links in the installation directory for major version number.
Use the existing $(DLSUFFIX) parameter to name shared library.

Check strdup calls for out of memory.
Set library version to 2.6.2
Synced preproc.y and keywords.c with gram.y and keywords.c yet again.
Set version to 2.4.3

This one is against the current archive (so it contains the one I send the

So this should finally get cursors working. There was an ugly bug in it.

Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.

It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.

This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )

This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.

Please review and apply,

Cheers,

Jeroen van Vianen

handles all transaction commands and the exec sql include command.

Michael Meskes

No more shift/reduce conflicts. Also all other bugs I know about are fixed.

This patch will...

1. Remove the "-Wall" option from the ecpg/lib and ecpg/preproc Makefile.

2. Remove the addition of $(SRCDIR)/include and-or $(SRCDIR)/backend from
   ecpg/lib, ecpg/preproc, libpq and utils Makefiles. Already in CFLAGS...

3. Set MK_NO_LORDER and RANLIB in Makefile.aix to avoid a couple of extra
   steps taken care of by the 'ld' command anyways.
