Thread: Replace Windows PostgreSQL Binary?

Replace Windows PostgreSQL Binary?

From
Jason Tishler
Date:
I recommend removing the old Windows PostgreSQL binary that can be found
at:

    ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.0/NT/postgresql-7.0-nt-binaries.tar.gz

It seems to be causing more harm than good.

If I produce a 7.1beta5, would someone with the appropriate authority
put it on the PostgreSQL ftp site?

Thanks,
Jason

Irix 6.2 compilation

From
"Parris B. Wood"

Hello,

    I've been having this problem since atleast v6.3.3, but after
trying the newest beta (7.1-beta5, per 01/2001 thread ``Problem with
compile pgsql on Irix 5.3''), I'm still running into the same problem.

    Apologies for the word wrap in advance. I can get the *.c files
compiled, its linking that bombs:

/usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix5.3/2.7.2.2/ld -r -o SUBSYS.o
heaptuple.o indextuple.o indexvalid.o printtup.o scankey.o tupdesc.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

ld: FATAL 64: 2th symbol in heaptuple.o is invalid -- should not have
relocation against it.

    Software versions:

    IRIX animaniacs 6.2 03131015 IP22
    collect2 version 2.7.2.2 [AL 1.1, MM 40] SGI running IRIX 5.x
    gcc version 2.7.2.2
    ld: INFO 61: Version 6.21. (SGI ld)
    GNU Make version 3.78.1

    Any ideas? Is my gcc way broken (other things compile fine, perl,
etc.)? I'd rather not touch it if I can. By the way the new make file
works fine with gcc, I no longer have to remove -Woff and -Wl manually =]
Thanks for your time!

I would prefer to upload via ftp or mail bomb you (the tar.gz is about
2 MB).  As a last resort, I can use my very precious public web space
(at least temporarily).  The grandparents would rather see pictures of
the kids instead of downloading pre-built PostgreSQL binaries... :,)

Just curious, but by "newest release" do you mean 7.1beta5 or 7.1 final?

Thanks,
Jason

You can find a pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1beta5 for Cygwin at the following URL:

    http://members.home.net/jtishler/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.1beta5-1.tar.gz

Please let me know when it is up on the PostgreSQL mirrors since it is
using 20% of my public web space.

I used the attached recipe to build and package this distribution.

Thanks,
Jason
