I've been able to get today's snapshot of PostgreSQL 6.5 beta to run
on an SGI running Irix 6.4. The following steps must be taken.
1.Add the following block to src/Makefile.shlib
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), irix5) install-shlib-dep := install-shlib shlib :=
lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)LDFLAGS_SL := -shared CFLAGS
+=$(CFLAGS_SL)
endif
2. Make src/Makefile.custome with
CUSTOM_CC = cc -32
LD += -32
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
3. Modify the install script to always copy, never move. The following install will work:
#!/bin/ksh
# Stripping is ignored in this version of install.
cmd=/bin/cp
strip=""
chmod="/bin/chmod 755"
user=`/usr/bin/whoami`
if [ $user = "root" ]
then chown="/bin/chown bin" chgrp="/bin/chgrp bin"
else chown="/bin/chown $user" set -A groups `/usr/bin/groups` chgrp="/bin/chgrp ${groups[0]}"
fi
while :
do case $1 in -s ) strip="" ;; -c ) cmd="/bin/cp" ;; -m )
chmod="/bin/chmod$2" shift ;; -o ) chown="/bin/chown $2" shift
;; -g ) chgrp="/bin/chgrp $2" shift ;; * ) break ;;
esac shift
done
case "$2" in
"") echo "install: no destination specified" exit 1 ;;
.|"$1") echo "install: can't move $1 onto itself" exit 1 ;;
esac
case "$3" in
"") ;;
*) echo "install: too many files specified -> $*" exit 1 ;;
esac
if [ -d $2 ]
then file=$2/$1
else file=$2
fi
/bin/rm -f $file
$cmd $1 $file
[ $strip ] && $strip $file
$chown $file
$chgrp $file
$chmod $file
4. Configure nsl off and make sure the correct install program is
used. The following shell statements will do this.
cd src
rm config.cache
cat >config.cache <<EOF
ac_cv_lib_nsl_main=${ac_cv_lib_nsl_main='no'}
EOF
gmake clean
INSTALL="your install program as above" ./configure --prefix=/pg/pgsql --without-CXX ...
========================================================================
I haven't yet gotten libpq++ to build correctly and one regression test,
misc.out, fails due to a segmentation error in the copying of binary
data. The traceback is
