Обсуждение: Can't find compile-time options

Folks,

I'm trying to do a custom compile of Postgresql and I can't find the
compile-time options file.  It's named something obscure and the name of
the file isn't in the online documentation anywhere.  

Can we please, please, please add this to the online docs?

Perhaps you mean src/include/pg_config.h?

I'd rather get rid of the file than announce it to the world...

I think that Peter probably deliberately removed all reference to it
from the docs ;-).  In src/Makefile.global.in I find:

# This includes your local customizations if Makefile.custom exists
# in the source directory.  This file doesn't exist in the original
# distribution so that it doesn't get overwritten when you upgrade.
#
# NOTE:  Makefile.custom is from the pre-Autoconf days of PostgreSQL.
# You are liable to shoot yourself in the foot if you use it without
# knowing exactly what you're doing.  The preferred (and more
# reliable) method is to communicate what you want to do to the
# configure script, and leave the makefiles alone.

-include $(top_srcdir)/src/Makefile.custom

Yes, thanks.  Bruce e-mailed me privately, too.

Then how am I going to compile Postgres to support 64 function
parameters?  --with--maxargs is NOT a ./configure option.
