Thread: pl-perl for 64 bits in Solaris 9

Hi

I don't have experience with solaris. I know it is a 64 bits:

bash-2.05# isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications



I tried to compile postgres (Version of postgres: 8.4.4 ) with plperl for 64 bits. The options for the configure are:

/configure --with-CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc  --with-perl  --with-libxml --with-libxslt




but when I do "make" get the next message:

 /port -L/usr/local/lib   -o plpgsql.so
 make[4]: Leaving directory `/export/fmolina/pgsql/postgresql-8.4.4/src/pl/plpgsql/src'
 make[3]: Leaving directory `/export/fmolina/pgsql/postgresql-8.4.4/src/pl/plpgsql'

 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/fmolina/pgsql/postgresql-8.4.4/src'
 make: *** [all] Error 2


then i do:

bash-2.05# file src/pl/plperl/plperl.o
src/pl/plperl/plperl.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable SPARC Version 1



My questions are:

is possible compile postgres with pl-perl for 64?

where i can read more about this problem?


thank's ....

I would use the SunStudio c/c++ compiler for Sun Sparc, especially 64bit
sparc.  All the sun stuff is built with Sun Studio (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
etc).

the perl thats built into solaris 9 is likely a little old, and may not
be 64bit, I'm not sure.  k, on my sol9 sparc legacy test system(a V240),
/usr/bin/perl is 32bit.   There is no /usr/bin/sparcv9/perl

so, you'll need to build your own 64bit perl if you want to link it to a
64bit postgres.

where did this 64bit 5.8.9 come from?

it was free last time I looked.   you just have to have a sunsolve
account to access it.
