Thread: Build problems for PostgreSQL v7.4 on FreeBSD v4.1

In file postgresql-7.4/src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/misc.c, this version
of FreeBSD has no definition of LONG_LONG_MIN, although it does
support an int64_t integral type.  Compilation was successful after
inserting
a definition immediately following the block of included files:

/* XXX */
#define LONG_LONG_MIN (1LL << 63)


In file
postgresql-7.4/src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc1/AbstractJdbc1ResultSet.java,
the JDBC version 1 driver cannot be built with JDK v1.1.8 because that
version of the Double class does not include a static parseDouble(String)
method, which first appeared in JDK 1.2.  The driver will compile if
line 836 is
modified as below.

                // XXX if (Double.parseDouble(s)==1)
                if (Double.valueOf(s).doubleValue()==1)

Here's a patch for the fix you describe.  Not that a one liner needs one,
but less work for the committers as well as getting it to the JDBC list.

I am not sure it was reported to you but this was fixed and is in 7.4:

revision 1.16
date: 2003/10/21 15:34:34;  author: tgl;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -1
branches:  1.16.2;
Cope with platforms that offer LONGLONG_MIN in place of the C99-spec
LLONG_MIN.  One example is AIX, per report from Andreas.
