Thread: Fw: porting to AIX
Hi All,
I was trying to get postgresql to compile on AIX 3.2.5 and on AIX 4.something, I don't remember, but can check. Anyway, neither compile worked. I was using the c compiler that came with AIX. Using the patch sent to the list by Peter Eisentraut, will the compilation work on 3.2.5 with the default compiler, or will I have to install GCC. Also, any other hints will be appreciated. By the way, how do you apply this patch, anyway.
Regards,
Kevin McLaughlin

The best bet at getting help with building and porting problems is to follow the installation instructions closely, show what you did and what failed. "Didn't work" won't get anything solved. For a start you could download the latest release candidate of PostgreSQL 7.1. That patch I posted, btw., is only a fix for a particular subversion of AIX 4.* and it's included in the latest release candidate. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/
I have noticed that only 1 of the 2 fixes necessary for AIX 4.1 have made
it into CVS.
The change that I submitted to Makefile.shlib has not gone in. Is there
anything else I need to do to get it in?

Hi Peter, I have postgresql-7.0.3 source files loaded on the AIX box. I will try 7.1RC4 as you suggested but have to download the source at home and carry it to work to do so. Today's a public holiday here. In the meantime, I tried compiling postgresql-7.0.3 on AIX 4.3.2.0 Ran ./configure --without-CXX then ran gmake (GNU make ver 3.79.1) and got following error: # gmake Making postgres.imp ./backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin > postgres.imp nm: postgres: 0654-200 Cannot open the specified file. nm: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. xlc -Wl,-bE:./backend/postgres.imp -o postgres ../utils/version.o -lPW -lcrypt -lld -lnsl -ldl -lm -ltermcap -lcurses xlc: 1501-228 input file ../utils/version.o not found gmake: *** [postgres.imp] Error 252 Any ideas?

Which was?

Thanx Peter. After using gmake all, the compile failed again, but MUCH later in the process. I decided that rather than spend time getting 7.0.3 up when I planned to move to 7.1RC4, I would be best served to download 7.1RC4 now, so I did. Again, gmake all worked well, and postgresql is now installed. Thanx again.
