Linker error while building a postgres extension


I am trying to build a postgres extension against rocksdb. This is my makefile

MODULES = pgtam
EXTENSION = pgtam
DATA = pgtam--0.0.1.sql
PG_CPPFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include
SHLIB_LINK += -L/usr/local/lib -lrocksdb -lz -lbz2 -lsnappy -lzstd

PG_CONFIG = /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs)
include $(PGXS)

I get this error on running make

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [pgtam.dylib] Error 1

I expect linking to be successful. Things I checked:

  1. I do have the dylib present in the included path /usr/local/lib/librocksdb.dylib
  2. The dylib does have the symbols in the error message

Solution

  • Answering my own question, this worked

    MODULE_big = pgtam
    EXTENSION = pgtam
    DATA = pgtam--0.0.1.sql
    
    PG_CPPFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
    SHLIB_LINK += -L/usr/local/lib -lrocksdb
    
    PG_CONFIG = /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
    PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs)
    include $(PGXS)
