Minor problem with Solaris 2.7beta

============================================================================


Your name        :    Frank Ridderbusch
Your email address    :    ridderbusch.pad@sni.de


System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)      :   Intel Pentium II

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)     :   Solaris 2.7beta

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.4)  :   PostgreSQL-6.4
                            Snapshot from 12.Oct.98

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)        :   egcs 1.1


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

Build process does not create a shared library in
src/pl/plpgsql/src/Makefile.



Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-6.4
make

The compilation process stops in the directory src/pl/plpgsql/src with
undefined symbols while linking.

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At the top of src/pl/plpgsql/src/Makefile there is a definition

PORTNAME=solaris_sparc

However this is solaris_i386. And later there are these four lines:

ifeq ($(PORTNAME), solaris)
  LDFLAGS_SL            := -G -z text
  CFLAGS                += $(CFLAGS_SL)
endif

There LDFLAGS_SL are not correctly setup to build a shared library.

I removed the _sparc from PORTNAME and '-z text' from
LDFLAGS_SL. After this everything compiled fine.

MfG/Regards

This should be solaris_i386 for you.  Why did it choose solaris_sparc?
Did configure guess this value?

OK, the configuration Makefiles looked for 'solaris' while we now have
'solaris_i386' and 'solaris_sparc'.  I have fixed these files, and
removed the '-z text' from the solaris_i386 makefiles.  Get a new
version of postgresql and let me know how it goes.

Here is the relevant section from config.status.

...
s%@host@%i386-pc-solaris2.7%g
s%@host_alias@%i386-pc-solaris2.7%g
s%@host_cpu@%i386%g
s%@host_vendor@%pc%g
s%@host_os@%solaris2.7%g
s%@TAS@%tas.o%g
s%@ODBCINSTDIR@%%g
s%@CC@%gcc%g
s%@CC_VERSION@%pgcc-2.91.57%g
s%@CPP@%gcc -E%g
s%@PORTNAME@%solaris_sparc%g
...

Apparently configure already got it wrong.

I am confused.  Please add 'set -x' to the second line of configure and
run:


    configure >/tmp/x 2>&1

and send me /tmp/x privately.      I am looking to see why the variable
host_no_ver did not match the proper entry in template/.similar.
