Thread: PostgreSQL 8.0.2 and QNX Neutrino 6.2.1
/Hi, Has anyone ever successfully configured and build the PostgreSQL source tree on QNX neutrino 6.2.1 ? I only need the libpq library as my Postgresql is hosted on another computer. Is there a way to only configure and build libpq ? I tried ./configure --with-template=qnx4 And got : # ./configure --with-template=qnx4 checking build system type... i386-pc-nto-qnx6.2.1 checking host system type... i386-pc-nto-qnx6.2.1 checking which template to use... qnx4 checking whether to build with 64-bit integer date/time support... no checking whether NLS is wanted... no checking for default port number... 5432 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking if gcc supports -Wdeclaration-after-statement... no checking if gcc supports -Wold-style-definition... no checking if gcc supports -Wendif-labels... no checking if gcc supports -fno-strict-aliasing... yes configure: using CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -fno-strict-aliasing checking whether the C compiler still works... no configure: error: cannot proceed Can anyone help ? I would really need that library compiled. Regards, Alexandre Senechal /

We used to support QNX but haven't had any QNX people involved, so it is probably just broken. It can be fixed probably by adjusting some cases in the code, but it will take some work on your part of digging into the code and submitting patches. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

The error message looked more like a broken compiler than any source
code problem. Possibly the configure script is assuming too much about
what CFLAGS are accepted by every variant of gcc?

The changes will probably be very minor, but it will take some work from someone running QNX. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

QNX4 is incompatible in more than one way with QNX6 (a.k.a. neutrino). Your best bet is probably a download site like openqnx.com. AFAIK there are prebuilt executables and sources available. -- Silverman's Paradox: If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.
