Thread: Intel Macs and PostgreSQL

Does anyone know if PostgreSQL 8.1.x will work on the new Intel Macs? I'm putting in my order for a new MacBook Pro.

If it doesn't, send a patch ;-)

We work fine on Intel hardware, and on Darwin, so I'd expect at most
very minor issues getting it to work on Darwin/Intel.  But I can't deny
that this is a trail not yet blazed.

            regards, tom lane

I just thought that since the Intel transition Macs have been out for
a while someone who had one would have already built PostgreSQL 8.1.x
for Intel/Mac.

Thanks,

Isn't PostgreSQL used by the newest versions of the system (10.4.x)?  If not
by default, it is available for some extensions, I think.  See here:

http://developer.apple.com/appleapplications/ardsql.html

So, I think apple may have an interest in making sure that it does work, but
I'm WAY outside the thought processes of large computer companies.

A friend of mine built 8.1.2 today on an Intel transition kit Mac and
he said it built and make check worked perfectly. Hopefully that
means the database will work. I'm sure it will.
