Dear all,
I've tried to compile libpq/postgresql a few times over the last week, and always failed because of some ranlib problem. It seems that the problem existed in an older svn version (using an older version of postgresql as well), but got fixed at that time (https://dev.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi/ticket/1938). I don't really understand the solution in the ticket, and the patch that was submitted at that time just seems to upgrade to a new version of postgresql. Can anybody help?
Here's the output of my make world V=99 at the point of breaking.
