I make no guarantee whatsoever -that the same step will work for others but at least it should point you -in the right direction. Also, I am a biologist by training so I only got -pgaccess working by fudging (that is, trial and error) this means that -some of the steps may be unnecessary (e.g. compiling $postgreSQL_source/src/interfaces/libpgtcl -as both a shared and static library) and they certainly haven't been optimised -(I know nothing about compiler switches etc.).</P> - -<P><B>1) Requirements:</B></P> - -<UL> -<P>You will need:</P> - -<UL> -<LI>postgreSQL source (http://www.postgresql.org)</LI> - -<LI>tcl8.0 source (http://www.tclconsortium.org/)</LI> - -<LI>tk8.0 source (http://www.tclconsortium.org/)</LI> - -<LI>pgaccess source (http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess)</LI> -</UL> -</UL> - -<P><B>2) Installation:</B></P> - -<P>a) tcl/tk:</P> - -<UL> -<P>You must first install tcl and then tk (in that order). I just used -./configure, no switches and gmake. Their installation should be trouble -free. Then you must move headers and libraries to the right places so:</P> - -<P>Header files: both tcl and tk have a header file (tcl.h and tk.h). The -tcl.h file is in $tcl_source_dir/generic and the tk.h file is in $tk_source_dir/generic; -both should be copied to /usr/local/include.</P> - -<P>Libraries: compilation (with cc) of tcl and tk yield libraries libtcl8.0.a -and libtk8.0.a in $source_dir/unix.

Once with just gmake. This produces a static library -libpgtcl.a which I leave where it is (I don't know what to do with it but -it may just come in handy). The I modify Makefile manually with a text -editor. Essentially I modify two line:</P> - -<P>before:</P> - -<P># Shared library stuff</P> - -<P>install-shlib-dep := shlib :=</P> - -<P>after:</P> - -<P># Shared library stuff</P> - -<P>install-shlib-dep := install-shlib shlib := libpgtcl.so.1</P> - -<P>Then gmake -f Makefile_modified. This creates two shared (.so) libraries: -libpgtcl.so and libpgtcl.so.1.
