This file is essential I believe, and is used by all of the Makefiles in the source tarball. Makefile.global is created by the configure step. This has not changed since 8.1. If you want to create a file that matches somebody else's build, examine pg_config output to see what configure options they used, and duplicate that. It would also be wise to check the src/include/pg_config.h result from configure to ensure that it matches their build (hopefully pg_config.h is included in what they distributed). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
