Installing on SCO OpenServer 3.2v5.0.5

I'm trying to compile Postgresql 7.1 on my Unix box and i'm getting some errors

I have SCO Open Server Dev. System ver 5.1.1A, GNU Make ver 3.78.1 and GNU Gcc 2.95.2 pl1.

If i try to run configure i get this error:

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

(adjunted config1.log)

------------------ o ------------------

then if I change line CC="$CC -b elf" on file src/template/sco to CC="$CC" (i don't have cross-compilers) i get error:

configure: error:
*** Could not execute a simple test program. This may be a problem
*** related to locating shared libraries. Check the file 'config.log'
*** for the exact reason.

(adjunted config2.log)

--------------- o ----------------

i'm developing solutions accesing data in Unix from Win clients

and i'm interested in use postgresql (under SCO OpenServer and/or Linux - maybe RedHat) with ODBC (any help will be appreciated)

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance...

Carpe Diem

This is because PostgreSQL is set up to use the SCO compiler suite, not
GCC.  Please try the attached patch; it will allow GCC and also give you
shared library support.  (Note that I'm completely making this up from the
SCO man pages.)  If you have the SCO compiler available, please also try
that, and while you're at it run the regression tests so we can mark your
platform as supported.

Can't tell from the config.log.  Please try this by hand:

echo "int main() { return 0; }" > conftest.c
gcc -o conftest      conftest.c -lPW -lgen -lld -lnsl -lsocket -ldl -lm
./conftest

If there are problems, try removing some of the libraries (-lxxx) from the
compilation command.
