Thread: Fw: Is anyone interested in getting PostgreSQL working on mips[el]?
Hackers, I can confirm that HEAD does not initdb because of a SIGBUS as reported below by Martin Pitt @ debian (see his email below). My build farm member (corgi) did pass all checks 6 days ago (I was having some issues with the build farm code before that). If anyone would like to SSH into the box, please contact me via email and I will get an account setup. Right now, I am trying to build 8.1 to see if it passes.

Hi mips porters! For a fair while now PostgreSQL (7.4, 8.0, 8.1) do not work at all on mips and mipsel. The postmaster immediately dies with a SIGBUS. It's pretty hard to track down, gdb stacktrace is unusable. Also, I was not able to get it to work in any of the various gcc version/optimization/PostgreSQL version/patch combinations I tried. [1] has some details of my findings so far. Thus I asked for removing the mips and mipsel debs for now until this is fixed [2]. Is any mips expert interested to track this down?

I cannot confirm this - the mipsel box I have on the buildfarm (lionfish) seems to be happyily building all branches and completing make check. Stefan
Stefan, well that is good news, can you tell me what version of linux you are using and what gcc version also. I will let Martin know.

Stefan, My mail admin has removed the Austria block, I guess we were getting spammed by some one there. Can you send the output of dpkg --list, so I can compare what packages you are using to what I have.

Toolchain looks like this on unstable: libc6-dev 2.3.5-11 linux-kernel-headers 2.6.13+0rc3-2 binutils 2.16.1cvs20051214-1 gcc-3.3 3.3.6-12 gcc-3.4 3.4.5-1 gcc-4.0 4.0.2-6 Where stable/sarge has: libc6-dev 2.3.2.ds1-22 linux-kernel-headers 2.5.999-test7-bk-17 binutils 2.15-6 gcc-3.3 3.3.5-13 gcc-3.4 3.4.3-13 (which you probably don't use) Kurt
I see that also, What I am testing now, it downgrading gcc to the sarge versions. If it works on testing then I know it's a gcc issue.
