The option

7\&.2\&. In prior releases, the server include files were installed in the same location as the client headers, which could be queried with the option

\fB\-\-includedir\fR\&. To make your package handle both cases, try the newer option first and test the exit status to see whether it succeeded\&.

In releases prior to

231

PostgreSQL

232

7\&.1, before

233

pg_config

234

came to be, a method for finding the equivalent configuration information did not exist\&.

235

.SH "EXAMPLE"

236

.PP

237

To reproduce the build configuration of the current PostgreSQL installation, run the following command:

238

.sp

239

.if n \{\

240

.RS 4

241

.\}

242

.nf

243

eval \&./configure `pg_config \-\-configure`

244

.fi

245

.if n \{\

246

.RE

247

.\}

248

.sp

249

The output of

250

pg_config \-\-configure

251

contains shell quotation marks so arguments with spaces are represented correctly\&. Therefore, using

252

eval

253

is required for proper results\&.
