Thread: 7.1.3 Compile fails on SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a

Version 7.1.3 and 7.1.2
System

i686
OS    = SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a
UDK 7.1.1a
Skunkware 2001

Develpement Environments
====================
Native           - SCO UNIX Development System  Release 5.1.2A 27Jul00
UDK 7.1.1a  - Optimizing C Compilation System  (CCS) 3.2 09/28/99
                        (santamariasbl5.1.rs1ubl7)
gcc                - version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

This gives me 3 options /usr/bin/cc, /udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc and
/usr/local/bin/gcc

gcc fails test compile at the end of configure

udk fails displays multiple warning: no SCO ELF identifying .note and
others
then fails to link

/usr/bin/cc gets the closest

Any help sorting this out would be appreciated.
In the mean time I'm working my way back through the available versions
to see if this is something that broke in one of the newer releases.

Attached is the config.log for the udk attempt.

Thank you Steve

GCC + SCO doesn't work with PostgreSQL < 7.2.

You already found the answer to that.  In the next release we'll be a bit
more careful about this using this symbol.

According to the "supported platforms" list, we haven't had a port
report from anyone using OpenServer 5 since PG 6.5.  So I wouldn't be
too surprised if some small problems have snuck in for that platform.
Please send patches if you figure out what's needed.

As far as the NOFILE issue goes, current sources already do "#ifdef NOFILE"
in all cases, so 7.2 shouldn't have a problem there.  In the meantime
you could just provide a dummy definition "#define NOFILE 50" (or so).

Can't really help you with the compiler-related problems.  You did read
doc/FAQ_SCO I hope --- maybe the people mentioned in it can help.
