Thread: Postgres Library natively available for Mac OSX Intel?

Hello!

I would like to know if somebody already has a Mac OSX Intel 10.4.5
pg-Library (for C, C++, Objective C) or knows how to compile it?

Or even better, a fat-library (powerpc, i386) would be even better :-)

Thanks for any information,
regards
Philipp Ott

    What problems did you have building libpq?

    Note: I'm not an OSX user.

I just wanted to know - I would like to have universal binaries of
libpg and psql to deploy.


Currently 8.1.3 compiles and runs just fine on OSX 10.4.6 + XCode
2.2.1, but generates binaries just for the current host architecture.
Now when I add -arch i386 -arch ppc to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for
configure, then it compiles everything just fine, however at linking
stage I get various problems for missing architecture files. Every
generated .o file in the src build tree is actually an universal
binary now, like for example

./src/timezone/SUBSYS.o:
Mach header
       magic cputype cpusubtype   filetype ncmds sizeofcmds      flags
0xfeedface       7          3          1     4        852 0x00002000
Fat headers
fat_magic 0xcafebabe
nfat_arch 2
architecture 0
     cputype 7
     cpusubtype 3
     offset 64
     size 48100
     align 2^5 (32)
architecture 1
     cputype 18
     cpusubtype 0
     offset 48192
     size 69332
     align 2^5 (32)
./src/timezone/zic.o:
Mach header
       magic cputype cpusubtype   filetype ncmds sizeofcmds      flags
0xfeedface       7          3          1     3        772 0x00002000


So when make comes to the first linking this happens:

However all the mentioned .o files in this linking list above are
both architecture 7 and 18.

Did someone else encounter similar problems and could fix this and
let me know please?

I used

configure CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc"

for the initial configure run.

Thank you
Philipp

    sorry, this is way over my head.

Are you sure you have all libs/frameworks installed as fat versions? On
NeXTSTEP you could select the architectures to install; unselected ones
were lipo'd out. I don't have OSX but the messages look like you only have
x86 libs to link against.
