Thread: Building pgeasy on HP-UX

Anyone know how to properly build pgeasy on HP-UX?  It used to build
seamlessly as part of pgsql.  The build doc is pretty sparse.


# gmake
...
cc libpgeasy.o halt.o -L/opt/pgsql/installs/postgresql-7.3.2/lib -lpq -fpic
-shared -Wl,-x,-soname,libpgeasy.so.3
-Wl,-rpath,/opt/pgsql/installs/postgresql-7.3.2/lib -o libpgeasy.so.3.0
cc: warning 422: Unknown option "f" ignored.
cc: warning 422: Unknown option "i" ignored.
cc: warning 422: Unknown option "h" ignored.
cc: warning 422: Unknown option "a" ignored.
cc: warning 401: "-s" defeats the purpose of "-p"; "-s" ignored.
# gmake install
install libpgeasy.so.3.0 /opt/pgsql/installs/postgresql-7.3.2/lib
install: libpgeasy.so.3.0 was not found anywhere!
gmake: *** [install] Error 2

I think you have to use the flags used to compile an ordinary library,
or use the flags used to build libpq.  My guess is that cc doesn't
understand -fpic in this situation.

When pgeasy was part of the main distribution, you had configure finding
the proper flags, but now, each interface is on its own.

HP's cc does not use the same argument switches as gcc.  -fpic and
-shared are definitely gcc-isms, and I think the -Wl stuff may be too.
Furthermore ".so" is not the way it's spelled in HPUX.

In short, you've got a gcc-only makefile there.  If you have gcc
installed, the path of least resistance would be to use it not cc.
Otherwise you need to re-educate the makefile.
