Thread: PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this platform
Hi,
I'm trying to compile the source code on a win2k platform but I've get
this error:
gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -I../../../../src/include
-I./src/include/port/win32 "-I../../../../src/include/port/win32"
-DBUILDING_DLL -c -o xlog.o xlog.c
In file included from ../../../../src/include/storage/spin.h:50,
from xlog.c:35:
../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h:543:2: #error PostgreSQL does
not have native spinlock support on this platform. To continue the
compilation, rerun configure using --disable-spinlocks. However,
performance will be poor. Please report this to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.
My configuration is:
- Windows2000 WKS with SP3
- Snapshot of postgresql source on date 20040608
- MinGW32 3.1.0-1
- MSYS 1.0.10
and i've runned ./configure with the '--without-zlib' parameter.
I've searched for a similar question on the ml but I don't found.
If you need more specification, ask me.

PS: sorry for my poor english.
That is very strange. I assume you are on an i386 cpu. Many are running the same configuration just fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martino Serri wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to compile the source code on a win2k platform but I've get > this error: > > gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes > -Wmissing-declarations -I../../../../src/include > -I./src/include/port/win32 "-I../../../../src/include/port/win32" > -DBUILDING_DLL -c -o xlog.o xlog.c > In file included from ../../../../src/include/storage/spin.h:50, > from xlog.c:35: > ../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h:543:2: #error PostgreSQL does > not have native spinlock support on this platform.

I've searched on /src/include/storage/s_lock.h and i've found this line. #ifdef HAVE_SPINLOCKS #error PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this ... I suppose that would be #ifndef HAVE_SPINLOCKS It's correct? Martino. -- "- in Italia cosa rischia uno che tortura? - ..Se è una tortura e via, poco..

No, that would mean it would use the spinlock code (slow) rather than the test and set code. What OS is this? My guess is that there is a missing spinlock configuration variable in proper src/template file. This is all redesigned in 7.5. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
