1. BUG??, fault in POSTMASTER when using GMAKE

   DECC <info@decc.nl> — 2001-04-18T15:46:03Z

   hello there,
   
   i must say i'm a rookie at using unix, but when i was trying to install postgresql 7.1,
   i came up with the following problem in the POSTMASTER program section. Could you, the reader of this message, please tell me what or where i can do/go to solve this problem. This is what the output was after running the installation:
   
   gcc2 -O2 -pipe -m486 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../../.
   ./src/include   -c postmaster.c -o postmaster.o
   postmaster.c: In function `PostmasterMain':
   postmaster.c:406: `optreset' undeclared (first use this function)
   postmaster.c:406: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
   postmaster.c:406: for each function it appears in.)
   gmake: *** [postmaster.o] Error 1
   
   The rest of posgresql seemed to be installed without any problem. It might be due to some mistake i made, if so, don't be angry with me, just let me know.
   
   thanx-a-lot,
   
   Dagomar

   Hm.  It looks like configure is testing whether it can link
     extern int optreset; optreset = 1;
   but then postmaster.c tries to get away without the extern.  One or
   the other of these things needs to change.  Peter, you got an opinion
   about it?
   
   BTW, info@decc.nl, what platform are you using?
   
   			regards, tom lane

   Correctly diagnosed, but I can't get at the code because the cvs server is
   down.

   Probably something BSDish.

   I have installed the below patch into CVS.  You can apply it to your
   sources or obtain a new snapshot tarball tomorrow, or wait for the 7.1.1
   release in 1-2 weeks.
