Re: How to write make rules for shared library and

Hi,
I have written a patch to PostGreSQL to produce shared
library (dylib) or plug-ins in Mac OS X. I have tested it in version
7.3 through version 7.3.2 and worked fine with pgaccess too.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to post it. Can you help me?
