I am trying to build PostgreSQL 8.3.1 on OpenVMS 8.3 Alpha, patched to UPDATE v6.0 ECO:<br />DEC AXPVMS VMS83A_UPDATE V6.0 Patch Install Val 14-MAR-2008<br /><br />Using the HP C compilers:<br />HP C Version 7.3 for OpenVMSAlpha Systems<br /> HP C++ Version V7.3 for OpenVMS Alpha Systems<br /><br />And the GNU (GNV) POSIX userland:<br/>DEC AXPVMS GNV V2.1-2 Full LP Install Val 22-MAR-2008<br /><br />$ gcc --version<br/>GNV Dec 10 2007 16:40:09<br /> HP C V7.3-009 on OpenVMS Alpha V8.3<br /><br />$ make --version<br />GNU Makeversion 3.78.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.<br />Built for VMS<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I've setup the POSIXenvironment and fired up ./configure (I've tried various templates for starters, since there isn't a default one forOpenVMS):<br /> What I've seen is that GNU autotools will create an empty conftest.c file, and attempt compilation. Whilean empty file *does* compile to a.out, it won't return 0, but 179.<br />bash$ gcc conftest.c<br /><br /><br /> ^<br/> %CC-W-EMPTYFILE, Source file does not contain any declarations.<br /> at line number 1 in file SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR.VIM.GNU.ALPHA.POSTGRESQL-8_3_1]CONF<br/> TEST.C;1<br /> %LINK-W-WRNERS, compilation warnings<br /> in module CONFTEST file SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR.VIM.GNU.ALPHA.POSTGRESQL-8_3<br /> _1]CONFTEST.O;2<br /> %LINK-W-USRTFR,image SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR.VIM.GNU.ALPHA.POSTGRESQL-8_3_1]A.OUT;3<br /> has no user transfer address<br /><br/>bash$ ./a.out<br />%DCL-E-NOTFR, no transfer address<br />bash$ echo $?<br />154<br /><br />Of course, since configurewill rewrite that file a *lot* of times, a simple echo "#include <stdio.h> int main() { return 0 }" > conftest.cwon't fix the issue.<br /><br />I've had similar issues / results on the z/OS / AS/390 platform, using c89.<br/><br />Any other way around this then digging deep into autotools? Also, are there any previous OpenVMS ports ofPostgreSQL I could make use of?<br /><br /><br />BUILD LOGS:<br />==========<br /><br />bash$ ./configure --with-template=AIX<br/>%DCL-W-PARMDEL, invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special characters<br /> \.SH\<br />%DCL-W-IVVERB,unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling<br /> \HOSTINFO\<br />checking build system type...alpha-dec-vms<br />checking host system type... alpha-dec-vms<br />checking which template to use...
