Thread: Compiling ecpg on SCO

I'm not sure this belongs with interfaces but the code is found in that 
directory of the distribution (7.0.2).  The compile on SCO fails with the 
message that nocachegetattr is undefined, first mentioned in pgc.o

I can find no mention of it but it does appear that at least this particular 
SCO box is missing a library.  The FAQ_SCO does not mention this problem and 
this is the first time I've dealt with PostgreSQL on a SCO, so if anyone can 
help me with this problem I would be grateful.

Try removing "#define DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO" from src/include/port/sco.h.
We've done that for 7.1, but I wonder if anyone is still running an SCO
compiler that needs it...

Thank you for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference with this 
problem.

How hard did you try?  Given the lack of dependency info in the Postgres
makefiles, you should figure on a "make clean all" after any change to
a widely used header file.  Maybe even make distclean, reconfigure,
and rebuild.

Your report is not a new issue, and I'm pretty sure the change I
suggested does fix it, if allowed to propagate all the way through...
