The way to choose a compiler is ./configure CC=your-cc ...other...options... We support a fair amount of non-GCC compilers, so supporting one or two more should be possible. Quick testing shows that clang doesn't get through the configure stage on this Debian system -- it looks like some amount of better integration with glibc might be needed. Building with llvm-gcc works fine, but I understand that using llvm-gcc with native code generation isn't all that different from using gcc itself, so that's not a surprising result. The only issue is that the float8 regression test fails, so it is apparently not *exactly* the same. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
