Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4 Operating system: FreeBSD Description: -fPIC needed for plperl & amd64 Details: Hi, It seems that in order to build plperl on amd64, -fPIC is needed in CFLAGS. Here's a trivial patch that fixes this for FreeBSD. It also adds the possibility to link plperl even if there is no shared libperl.so, only a static libperl.a. On FreeBSD, the perl ports are usually built with libperl.a only. --- src/makefiles/Makefile.freebsd.orig Wed Aug 29 21:14:40 2001 +++ src/makefiles/Makefile.freebsd Sat Jan 31 17:51:25 2004 @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ endif DLSUFFIX = .so -CFLAGS_SL = -fpic -DPIC +CFLAGS_SL = -fPIC -DPIC %.so: %.o ifdef ELF_SYSTEM @@ -23,3 +23,5 @@ endif sqlmansect = 7 + +allow_nonpic_in_shlib = yes ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
