Dear Devrim,I have been using Postgres on Irix for over 8 years, and I have only
used the SGI provided compilers. GCC doesn't work well on Irix. In addition,
you can build a 64 bit version of PostgreSQL. Here's the script we used for
PostgreSQL 7.3.2:
#!/bin/ksh -x
./copy_local_files_for_build
export SGI_ABI=-64
cat >config.cache <<EOF
ac_cv_lib_nsl_main=${ac_cv_lib_nsl_main='no'}
ac_cv_prog_CPP=${ac_cv_prog_CPP='cc -E'}
ac_cv_prog_gcc=${ac_cv_prog_gcc=no}
ac_cv_prog_perl=${ac_cv_prog_perl=/stf/sys64/bin/perl}
EOF
gmake clean
CC="cc -64" \
AWK=awk \
INSTALL=/pg/postgresql-7.3.2/config/install-sh \
LDFLAGS="-rpath $POSTGRES_HOME/local/lib" \
./configure --prefix=/pg/postgresql-7.3.2 \ --enable-hba \ --with-pgport=6543 \
--disable-locale\ --enable-cassert \ --with-template=irix5 \
--with-includes="$POSTGRES_HOME/local/include$POSTGRES_HOME/local/include/readline" \
--with-libs=$POSTGRES_HOME/local/lib\ --without-CXX \ --with-maxbackends=128 \
--enable-debug\ --without-java \ --enable-odbc
gmake
LD_LIBRARY64_PATH=/pg/postgresql-7.3.2/src/interfaces/libpq:$LD_LIBRARY64_PATH gmake check
gmake install
export PATH=/pg/postgresql-7.3.2/bin:$PATH
initdb -D /pg/postgresql-7.3.2/data
------------------------------------------------------------------------
src/Makefile.custom is set to:
CUSTOM_CC = cc -64
LD += -64
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
The script copy_local_files_for_build is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
source="/stf/sys64"
if [ "$POSTGRES_HOME"x = x ]
then echo "No POSTGRES_HOME variable set." exit 1
fi
if [ ! -d $POSTGRES_HOME/local/lib ]
then mkdir -p $POSTGRES_HOME/local/lib
fi
/usr/local/bin/tarcp $source/include/readline $POSTGRES_HOME/local/include/readline
cp ${source}/lib/libz* $POSTGRES_HOME/local/lib
cp ${source}/lib/libreadline* $POSTGRES_HOME/local/lib
cp ${source}/include/z* $POSTGRES_HOME/local/include
