I have been working on building Slony against an installed version of
PostgreSQL. The goal is to build Slony without the sources being installed.
I have converted Configure.ac and related sources to make use of the
installed libs and headers on your system.

xxid and backend have a dependency on functions which reside in
libpgport.a, as far as I can figure out. The problem is that this is
a PostgreSQL server internal lib. It is compiled into the server as far
as I can figure out.

Is libpgport.a only available when compiling from source?

Is there another posibility of building these parts? Any suggestions?
Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Niels Breet
