1. Problem with 7.1.3 and -DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES

   Justin Clift <justin@postgresql.org> — 2001-11-14T05:46:27Z

   Hi,
   
   I'm trying to compile PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on Redhat 7.1, and whenever I
   define USE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES with :
   
   export CFLAGS=-DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES
   
   When doing make I get the error "<command line>: warning: ISO C requires
   whitespace after the macro name" after every invocation of gcc.  After a
   while the whole process errors out with :
   
   <command line>: warning: ISO C requires whitespace after the macro name
   gcc -DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_RULE -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes

   On this server, I'm not the SysAdmin.  There's a good chance the
   SysAdmin for the server has kept the number of packages on this server
   to a minimum, so it's possible some needed program is missing.
   
   Does anyone have any ideas?  Please bear in mind that everything
   compiles fine without the -DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_FLAGS option.
   
   Haven't tried current CVS, but it's an interesting thought (can't do it
   on this server).

   Please try 7.2beta2.  Australian time is now controlled by a
   postgresql.conf option so things are much easier.

   FWIW, there is no AUSTRALIAN_anything symbol anywhere in current
   sources.  I think this is fixed already; I suggest you try current
   if you want any concerted response.

   Hi Bruce,
   
   There is ZERO possibility of using 7.2betaX on this server.  It's a
   critical production machine and requirements are such that it's been
   migrated to RedHat 7.1.
   
   Is there no way to get this working?

   Sure there is. The code in 7.1.x needs to have USE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES
   evaluate to "true" (there is an #if, not #ifdef), so you should set it
   equal to one (rather than just have it exist).
   
   I think that "-DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES=1" should work; you can set it as
   CFLAGS+=... in Makefile.local, or continue to try to get an environment
   variable to do what you want (I do not use that technique myself, so
   can't help with the nuances, but maybe export CFLAGS="..." with some
   quotes will do it).

   Hi Thomas,
   
   Thanks for this.  Just used CFLAGS='-DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES=1' and it compiled 
   fine.
   
   :-)
