Thread: no native spinlock support on os x 10.4.7

hello,

as requested:

../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h:543:2: error: #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.

This is compiling using darwinports' "port install postgresql" on mac
os x 10.4.7.  PostgreSQL version ..

--->  Attempting to fetch postgresql-7.4.12.tar.bz2 from ftp://
ftp2.ch.postgresql.org/mirror/postgresql/source/v7.4.12

cheers,

Nick!

Use something newer.  I believe PG 8.1 will build out-of-the-box
on Intel Macs ... or at least, if it doesn't then we'd like to hear
about it.  7.4 is ancient history and won't be ported onto
platforms that didn't exist when it was released.
