Parameters for Building (make)Many installation-related parameters can be set in the building stage of Postgres installation. In most cases, these parameters should be placed in a file, Makefile.custom, intended just for that purpose. The default distribution does not contain this optional file, so you will create it using a text editor of your choice. When upgrading installations, you can simply copy your old Makefile.custom to the new installation before doing the build. Alternatively, you can set variables on the make command line: make [ variable=value [...] ] A few of the many variables that can be specified are:
There are other optional parameters which are not as commonly used. Many of those listed below are appropriate when doing Postgres server code development.
Here is an example Makefile.custom for a PentiumPro Linux system: # Makefile.custom # Thomas Lockhart 1999-06-01 POSTGRESDIR= /opt/postgres/current CFLAGS+= -m486 -O2 # documentation HSTYLE= /home/tgl/SGML/db118.d/docbook/html PSTYLE= /home/tgl/SGML/db118.d/docbook/print |
