Thread: Cross platform compiling

Cross platform compiling

From

I was trying to compile a PostGreSQL 8.0.2 on Intel Linux for a PowerPC based
Linux.

Could you please let me know if 8.0.2 support PowerPC ? If it does, how do
I "configure" so it will build a binary to run on PowerPC_Linux ?

Thanks for any help.

Sam

Certainly.  However, we don't currently support cross compilation.
The configure script is likely to guess wrong about some things if
it can't run tests, and there's a bit of a problem with running
the "zic" timezone database compiler too.
