Travis Pouarz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
AIX 4.3.1, 7.0.3 build annoyances: C++ comments, make all, macro problem
Long Description
select version(): PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.1.0, compiled by xlc
Building Postgres 7.0.3 on AIX 4.3.1 using xlc (__IBMC__ = 436).
GNU Make version 3.77
Ran ./configure with '--with-tcl' (as well as other stuff)
I ran into the following three problems during build. I found workarounds to all
three problems.
---- [1]
I needed to 'make all' explicitly. 'make' alone resulted in this behavior:
> make
Making postgres.imp
./backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh postgres /.../pkg/postgresql-7.0.3/bin > postgres.imp
nm: postgres: 0654-200 Cannot open the specified file.
nm: No such file or directory
xlc -Wl,-bE:./backend/postgres.imp -o postgres ../utils/version.o -L/.../lib -ltcl8.0
-L/.../readline-4.1/lib -lPW -lcrypt -lld -lnsl -ldl -lm -lreadline -ltermcap
-lcurses
xlc: 1501-228 input file ../utils/version.o not found
make: *** [postgres.imp] Error 252
---- [2]
interfaces/odbc/pgtypes.h
has a single C++ comment. I would guess this is an error. Rather than changing the
source I added '-qcpluscmt' to my compiler flags so the c compiler would accept C++
comments.
Actually, I see in http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devhistory2.html that this is
intentional "We switched to C++ so we could use those nifty // single line comments."
:-)
---- [3]
interfaces/odbc/dlg_specific.h
I had to make the following change in dlg_specific.h:
#if 0
#define xstr(s) str(s)
#define str(s) #s
#define ODBCINST_INI xstr(ODBCINST) "/odbcinst.ini"
#endif
#define ODBCINST_INI "/odbcinst.ini"
To fix errors of this type:
xlc -I../../include -I../../backend -I/.../include -I/.../pkg/readline-4.1/include
-qmaxmem=16384 -qhalt=w -qsrcmsg -qlanglvl=extended -qlonglong -qcpluscmt -I.
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c psqlodbc.c -o psqlodbc.o
106 | getGlobalDefaults("PostgreSQL", "" "/odbcinst.ini", 0);
