Re: Building PostgreSQL in external directory is broken?

Hi Ilmari,

You are right, I missed this. Thanks!

Regarding these errors:

> ar: cryptohash.o: No such file or directory
> ar: hmac.o: No such file or directory
> ...

This has something to do with the particular choice of the ./configure
flags on a given platform. If I omit:

> --disable-debug --disable-cassert --enable-tap-tests

I get completely different errors:

> clang: error: no such file or directory: 'replication/backup_manifest.o'
> clang: error: no such file or directory: 'replication/basebackup.o'

Apparently this should be checked carefully with different configure
flags combinations if we are going to continue maintaining this.
