Thread: Installing PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on SCO Open Server 5.0.5

Hi,

I tried to compile and install PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on SCO Open Server 5.0.5. Though not stated in doc/FAQ_SCO, it wasn't possible until I disabled shared library support (configure --disable-shared) and changed some lines in src/backend/storage/file/fd.c .

Apart from a minor problem with readline (the [1] key on the keyboard didn't work, so I recompiled without readline) PostgreSQL seems to work now. Unfortunately PL/pgSQL can't be used (the shared library 'plpgsql.so' is not built and the static plpgsql.a cannot be used as handler).

Any suggestions how to get PL/pgSQL working?

Thanks

pit

Clearly, this needs to be fixed, but it's hard to tell how from this
description.

Funny you should mention it . I just build it last week. The switches
are the same as for unixware. So ...
in Makefile.shlib add

ifeq ($(PORTNAME), sco)
   install-shlib-dep     := install-shlib
   shlib                         :=
lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(S
O_MINOR_VERSION)
   LDFLAGS_SL            := -G -z text
   CFLAGS                        += $(CFLAGS_SL)
   ifeq ($(CXX), CC)
     CXXFLAGS += -Xw
     COMPILE.cc = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS:ll,alloca=ll) $(CPPFLAGS)
$(TARGET_ARCH) -c
   endif
endif

Delete all of the .o and remake. Works fine
