Re: [PORTS] Compilation on Solaris 2.8

Hi :

I am having problems in compiling Postgres 7.1.
I am using the following compilers on Solaris 2.8 on a Sparc Ultra 60
machine.

Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C++ 5.2 2000/09/11
Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11

Is there a port available for this configuration ?

Thanks,
Manoj Nair

Hi,

Postgres 7.1.2 is runing fine at my site (Solaris 2.6 ans Solaris 2.6).
I used gcc-2.95.3 and make-3.79.1 (both downloaded from
www.sunfreeware.com)
I had just one problem:
during compilation you need the ar - command in your PATH.
Look at the manpages of ar for the proper Path.

CU
Andre

Hi Andre,

We have also compiled postgres with gcc.
Our development environment uses Solaris Workshop, and we tried some test
programs, compiled with Sun's Forte compiler, and using the gcc compiled
postgres libraries. This did not work.
We got linker errors like the following....

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
PgConnection::PgConnection #Nvariant 1(const char*) testlibpq0.o
PgConnection::~PgConnection #Nvariant 1() testlibpq0.o
int PgConnection::ConnectionBad() testlibpq0.o
void PgDatabase::DisplayTuples(__FILE*,int,const char*,int,int)
testlibpq0.o
ExecStatusType PgConnection::Exec(const char*) testlibpq0.o
const char*PgConnection::ErrorMessage() testlibpq0.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to testlibpq0
make: *** [testlibpq0] Error 1

Hence our attempt to compile Postgres with Sun's compiler...

Thanks,
Manoj

[bringing the thread back into pgsql-ports, my bad in the first place
that it was left out...]

You might have, yes. I assume pgsql.so is the client library, as php is
trying to use it.

The problem with pgsql.so showed up in v7.1. In v7.0.3 everything is
fine (I've tested both of these).
