Your name        : Jonathan
Your email address    : jonz@netrail.net

Category        : install: compile
Severity        : critical

Summary: The compiler bombs at pgc.l and fails to finish compiling

System Configuration
--------------------
  Operating System   : Solaris 7

  PostgreSQL version : 6.4.2

  Compiler used      : gcc 2.8.1

Hardware:
---------
ASUS P2L97-DS, Dual P-II 333 Mhz, 512MB RAM, 9 Gig Disk

Versions of other tools:
------------------------
gmake 3.77, lex

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description:
--------------------
When the compiler reached pgc.l, I receive this error:

lex pgc.l
"pgc.l":line 53: Error: missing translation value
make[3]: *** [pgc.c] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/ecpg'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/src/pgsql/src/interfaces'
make: *** [all] Error 2

if I try and do a make install i get postgres, but none of the tools or anything else.  It doesn't set up the database
(if it is supposed to) either.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Case:
----------
I did a ./configure --with-perl --with-CC=gcc --with-pgport=5432 --enable-hba --disable-locale and a 'gmake'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution:
---------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


You must upgrade to using flex 2.5.4+ .. the lex that comes with most
operating systems (commercial) tends to be unable to handle the complexity
of our .l files ...

Is configure detecting 'lex' or 'flex'?  Did you install 'flex' after your
configurte and not do a 'make distclean' before doign a re-configure?

I've built v6.4.2 on both Solaris 7/x86 and sparc, using Flex 2.5.4a, with
no problems...

Re: [PORTS] Port Bug Report: The compiler bombs at pgc.l and fails to finish compiling

Hmm well I was able to make it build after I renamed lex to lex.old - i
guess it was using lex stil.  I still am not able to compile the perl5
interface; any ideas?
