Thread: Postgresql on dynix/ptx system

Hi

I'm compiling (not, I'm trying to compile) last version of Postgresql on
Sequent Dynix/ptx ver 4.4.7 system. Under compilation process with gcc (ver
2.7.2 ported on dynix/pt) is reporting several errors.

If someone is ready to help me with this process please send me answer.

It's not so interesting at this point to port PostgreSQL 7.0.*, given that
PostgreSQL 7.1 should go beta sometime, er, this year.  If you want to
port 7.1 then you should be looking into the following files and/or
directories for platform specific stuff:

configure.in
src/template
src/makefiles
src/include/port
src/Makefile.shlib
src/backend/port/dynloader
src/include/storage/s_lock.h
src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c

Once you have gotten past the fact that configure will complain about your
system not being supported (which you should fix in configure.in and
re-run autoconf), showing actual compiler output will help.

I am also trying to port PostgreSQL to Dynix/ptx
4.4.5. I have GNU gcc 2.95.2. 

I also have errors when trying to configure and make
the application and I am not particularily well
qualified to sort them out. I would however be pleased
to help where I can.
