hi all, i've been happily building runing ver's of pgsql (current 81b2) on my OSX 10.4.2 on G4 boxes. to date, always linked/built to my /usr/local dev tree of libs, headers, etc. now, i'd like to build once, pkg and deploy to other boxes. admittedly, dylibs/libtool/etc which have been standard fare in my per-box builds, now have me a mite concerned/confused. soooo, a couple of Q's b4 i begin appropriate 'thrashing': (1) to build STATIC pgsql* binaries, with NO external lib dependencies, is '--disable-rpath' necessary/sufficient? iiuc '--disable-shared' simply defines whether/not the dylibs are built, but is irrelevant to the bins ... (2) i've not (yet) tried static bins on different OSX ver deployment targets (10.4.x, 10.3.x, etc.) and/or different CPUs (G3/G4/G5). how portable *are* built pgsql bins? cross-compile across platforms/cpu-families/OS's is clear, but do i need to worry abt it for OSX ver/cpu variants? thx, richard ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
