Thread: Interface compile problems with 6.5.2 on DEC-Alpha
I am puzzled: I got 6.5.2 to compile on my DEC-alpha, but I met with compile errors whenever I tried to compile it with any of the interfaces like tcl, perl and odbc (not to mention having to deactivate any C++ compiling). The errors I get are things like "invalid declarations" .. things I would not expect to compile on any computer. Has anyone else had problems compiling with these interfaces? Is there a compiler flag that will let these things pass? Thanks, Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Dr. Robert H.

I've just compiled 6.5.3 (which is not yet announced, but it does exist
already) on my tiny old alpha (it is a DEC 2000 AXP 300). It has DU 4.0d
(without patches), DEC C V5.6-075, perl 5.004_04, tcl 7.6 / tk 4.2 (yes, I
know these two are old, but I don't really use them), GNU make 3.75, GNU
flex 2.5.4 and GNU bison 1.25.
This is the configure command that I have used:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql.beta --enable-locale
--with-pgport=5440 --with-CC=cc --without-CXX
--with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-tcl
--with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib --with-x --with-perl --with-odbc
As you may see, all interfaces (except C++, which is known not to work on
alphas) are enabled. I had to apply the attached patch to get odbc to
compile. Please don't be very strict about the patch, it is just a quick
and dirty hack done in a minute to get odbc to compile.
Although I haven't done the regression tests, everything has compiled fine
(well, the odbc part gave a lot of warnings related to char/unsigned char
pointers, but they doesn't seem dangerous).

Please be more specific about the tools you use and the errors you see,
and I'll try to help.
Regards,
Pedro.
