Hi all, with the help of William Siegrist I wrote a portfile for pgpool-II (ticket #14647). I’ve added the following environment setting: configure.env PATH=$env(PATH):${prefix}/lib/ postgresql83/bin
In order to make pg_config available at configure time. Is there a way to avoid hard coding the path?
Is there an option in the configure script for pgpool-II to tell it where postgresql is located? Take a look at its "./configure -- help"
I guess we could use --with-pgsql, however the problem is that we have to hard code the version of the postgres port. Of course, since you can have, say, both 8.2 and 8.3 versions installed and activated you have explicitly choose which one pgpool should use. I was hoping to be able to use the port dependency mechanism but we can the configure option.
The usual solution would be to offer variants. So offer a postgresql83 variant, a postgresql82 variant, etc. Each one adds the right configure argument and depends on the right version of postgres.
