Heikki Linnakangas 0b16bb8776 Remove AIX support
There isn't a lot of user demand for AIX support, we have a bunch of
hacks to work around AIX-specific compiler bugs and idiosyncrasies,
and no one has stepped up to the plate to properly maintain it.
Remove support for AIX to get rid of that maintenance overhead. It's
still supported for stable versions.

The acute issue that triggered this decision was that after commit
8af2565248, the AIX buildfarm members have been hitting this
assertion:

    TRAP: failed Assert("(uintptr_t) buffer == TYPEALIGN(PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, buffer)"), File: "md.c", Line: 472, PID: 2949728

Apperently the "pg_attribute_aligned(a)" attribute doesn't work on AIX
for values larger than PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, for a static const variable.
That could be worked around, but we decided to just drop the AIX support
instead.

Tom Lane e2b73f4a4d Stop generating plain-text INSTALL instructions.
Up to now, our distribution tarballs have included a plain-text form
of the installation.sgml chapter.  The rationale for that was that a
recipient might not have either ready internet access or HTML-viewing
tools; a theory that seems downright quaint today.  Maintaining the
ability to generate this file is not without cost, because it puts
special requirements on installation.sgml that are often overlooked.
Moreover, we are moving in the direction of making our distribution
tarballs be pure git snapshots for traceability/reproducibility
reasons; including generated files doesn't fit into that plan.
Hence, let's just drop INSTALL and remove the infrastructure for
generating it.  The top-level README will now recommend visiting
our website to see the installation instructions.  As a useful
side-effect, we can get rid of README.git which has provoked
confusion.

Daniel Gustafsson c330b75d9c Dynamically find correct installation docs in Makefile.
The base Makefile will output help to the user when invoking make in
an unconfigured tree, the help was however always referring to a file
which may not be present as it's only in tarballs.  Dynamically check
for the presence of the INSTALL file and fall back on README.git when
it's not available (which is the case of Git checkouts).

Thomas Munro 0089c3059c Don't unset MAKEFLAGS in non-GNU Makefile.
It's useful to be able to pass down options like -s and -j.

Back-patch to 9.5, like commit a76200de.

Noah Misch e21a556e13 Fix non-GNU makefiles for AIX make.
Invoking the Makefile without an explicit target was building every
possible target instead of just the "all" target.  Back-patch to 9.3
(all supported versions).

Tom Lane a76200de84 Prevent passing down MAKELEVEL/MAKEFLAGS from non-GNU make to GNU make.
FreeBSD's make, for one, sets the MAKELEVEL environment variable when
invoking commands.  In the special Makefile we provide to hand off control
from a non-GNU make to GNU make, this causes GNU make to think it is a
child make invocation rather than top-level.  That interferes with the hack
added in commit dcae5facc to cause the temp-install tree to be made only by
the top-level invocation of gmake.  Unset the variable to prevent that.

Likewise unset MAKEFLAGS, which FreeBSD's make also sets, and which could
easily confuse gmake.  There are no reports of actual trouble from that,
but it seems better to be proactive.

Back-patch to 9.5 where dcae5facc came in.

Thomas Munro, hacked a bit more by me

Also add make check-world target, and refactor pg_regress invocation
code in makefiles a bit.

Andrew Dunstan 7523960d63 Add new make targets "world", "install-world" and "installcheck-world" to build, install and check just about everything.
In addition to everything built installed and tested by all, install and installcheck targets, these build HTML Docs,
build and test contrib, and test PLs and ECPG.

Bruce Momjian 513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

Tom Lane d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

Peter Eisentraut fba790ad58 Makeover for Unixware 7.1.1
* Makefile: Add more standard targets.  Improve shell redirection in GNU
make detection.
* src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c: Fix incorrect(?) C.
* src/backend/libpq/pqcomm.c (StreamConnection): Work around accept() bug.
* src/include/port/unixware.h: ...with help from here.
* src/backend/nodes/print.c (plannode_type): Remove some "break"s after
"return"s.
* src/backend/tcop/dest.c (DestToFunction): ditto.
* src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c: Add proper prototypes.
* src/backend/utils/adt/numutils.c (pg_atoi): Cope specially with strtol()
setting EINVAL. This saves us from creating an extra set of regression test
output for the affected systems.
* src/include/storage/s_lock.h (tas): Correct prototype.
* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c (parseServiceInfo): Don't use variable
as dimension in array definition.

* src/template/unixware: same here
* src/test/regress/expected/abstime-solaris-1947.out: Adjust whitespace.
* src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out: Part of this file
was evidently missing.
* src/test/regress/pg_regress.sh: Fix shell.  mkdir -p returns non-zero if
the directory exists.
* src/test/regress/resultmap: Add entries for Unixware.

Peter Eisentraut 6de89c9ab7 Moved the intricacies of the perl interface build into its own makefile
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.

Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.

Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.

Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.

Tom Lane fb070464c1 If we're gonna have people running make from the top directory now,
we'd better have a Makefile here to prevent the mistake of using
vannilla make instead of gmake.  (But let's leave src/Makefile where
it is, too.)
