Dear Alvaro,
sorry for this late response.
Is PGXS on VPATH builds supported?
Probably not in the way you're thinking. IIRC pgxs.mk explicitly resets
VPATH, and I think it has to do that because any VPATH embedded in
Makefile.global would represent what was done at the time of building
the PG installation --- which has zip to do with where the PGXS-using
software is located.
It might work to explicitly set VPATH from the make command line:
make USE_PGXS=1 VPATH=whatever
as this should override the assignments in the makefiles.
Indeed.
There were some kind of issue with VPATH so that it was scratched when
building under pgxs.
ifdef PGXS
# We assume that we are in src/makefiles/, so top is ...
top_builddir := $(dir $(PGXS))../..
include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.global
top_srcdir = $(top_builddir)
srcdir = .
VPATH =
endif
Maybe something clever could be done with relative VPATHs, or by trying to
translate prefixes? On the other hand, I'm not a VPATH fan;-)
