Solaris SPARC - Sun compiler 5.5 - 64 bit

Hi all,

I've been trying to compile a 64bit version of PostgreSQL on Solaris
sparc using Sun compiler 5.5, unfortunately I keep getting errors when
compiling.  I can compile PostgreSQL as 32bit without any problems, but
not 64bit.

So I am hoping someone on this list will be able to help.  I'm getting
frustrated!

I think I'm using configure wrong.  Below are the details on my
environment, and how I try to compile PostgreSQL.

Machine:
SunOS dev 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

Compiler:
cc: Sun C 5.5 2003/03/12

Environment:

PATH=/devtools/WS8.0/SUNWspro/bin/sparcv9:/devtools/WS8.0/SUNWspro/bin:/
usr/bin/sparcv9:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin/sparcv9:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr1/clarka/
bin

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32=/lib:/devtools/WS8.0/SUNWspro/lib:/devtools/oracle/8.
1.7_64/lib:/devtools/sybase-12_0/OCS-12_0/lib:/usr1/clarka/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64=/lib/64:/lib/sparcv9:/devtools/WS8.0/SUNWspro/lib/v9:
/devtools/oracle/8.1.7_64/lib64:/devtools/sybase-12_0/OCS-12_5/lib:/devt
ools/sybase-12_0/OCS-12_5/lib3p64:/usr1/clarka/lib

Compiling commands:

./configure CFLAGS="-xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2"
--without-readline --without-zlib --prefix=$HOME/UAT/postgres
--enable-thread-safety --enable-integer-datetimes
make
make install



Thanks,
Andrew

You really should mention which Postgres version you're using
... but if it's pre-8.0, possibly the problem is the lack of this patch:

Hi Tom,

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.0.2 on Solaris 8.

Is configure using the solaris template, or the sunos4 one?
If the former, does changing
  CFLAGS="-v"            # -v is like gcc -Wall
to
  CFLAGS="-v -DSUNOS4_CC"    # -v is like gcc -Wall
fix it?  (Note you need to re-configure to make template changes
have any effect.)

Tom,

Well that definitely did something, but now I get a different error:

----------------

gmake[4]: Leaving directory
`/usr1/clarka/src/postgresql-8.0.2/src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs
/ascii_and_mic'

----------------

The command that's failing doesn't have the -x flags, so I tried the
following command manually:

cc -Xa -v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2 -G -h
libascii_and_mic.so.0  ascii_and_mic.o -L../../../../../../src/port   -o
libascii_and_mic.so.0.0

And it worked...

So, I specified the -x flags in LDFLAG in my configure command. But I
still get the above error and I the LDFLAG isn't being used.

Here is my configure command:

./configure \
CFLAGS="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2 -DSUNOS4_CC" \
LDFLAGS="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2" \
--without-readline \
--without-zlib \
--prefix=$HOME/UAT/postgres \
--enable-thread-safety \
--enable-integer-datetimes


Thanks,
Andrew

OK, thanks for the confirmation.  There was some discussion recently

but we didn't have proof.

AFAIK you have to specify both LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL if you want
manual configuration of link options.  LDFLAGS is used for building
regular executables, LDFLAGS_SL for shared libraries.

Tom,

I added LDFLAGS_SL and everything compiled and all regression tests
passed.

Thanks!

Actually, this doesn't prove anything one way or the other.  Because you
were manually specifying CFLAGS, and thereby overriding the template,
the lack of -DSUNOS4_CC in the manual CFLAGS caused the s_lock.c
failure.

So: which template did configure pick on your machine, anyway?

Quick Summary:

1.

With the follow config:

./configure \
--without-readline \
--without-zlib \
--prefix=$HOME/UAT/postgres \
--enable-thread-safety \
--enable-integer-datetimes \

I have the following config:

configure:1298: checking build system type
configure:1316: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1324: checking host system type
configure:1338: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1348: checking which template to use
configure:1449: result: solaris

2.

With the following config:

./configure \
CFLAGS="-v -DSUNOS4_CC" \
--without-readline \
--without-zlib \
--prefix=$HOME/UAT/postgres \
--enable-thread-safety \
--enable-integer-datetimes

I have the following config:

configure:1298: checking build system type
configure:1316: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1324: checking host system type
configure:1338: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1348: checking which template to use
configure:1449: result: solaris

3.

With the following config:

./configure \
CFLAGS="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2 -DSUNOS4_CC" \
LDFLAGS="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2" \
LDFLAGS_SL="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2" \
--without-readline \
--without-zlib \
--prefix=$HOME/UAT/postgres \
--enable-thread-safety \
--enable-integer-datetimes

I have the following config:

configure:1298: checking build system type
configure:1316: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1324: checking host system type
configure:1338: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1348: checking which template to use
configure:1449: result: solaris

4.

./configure \
CFLAGS="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2" \
LDFLAGS="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2" \
LDFLAGS_SL="-v -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v9a -xchip=ultra2" \
--without-readline \
--without-zlib \
--prefix=$HOME/UAT/postgres \
--enable-thread-safety \
--enable-integer-datetimes

I have the following config:

configure:1298: checking build system type
configure:1316: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1324: checking host system type
configure:1338: result: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configure:1348: checking which template to use
configure:1449: result: solaris


NOTES:

1 and 2 can compile and they both produce 32bit bins and libs.
3 can compile and it produces 64bit bins and libs.
4 can't compile (fbe fails)

OK, so we do need to fix the solaris template too.

I have a feeling that there may need to be some sort of test on the
compiler version specifically, but without some more data it's hard
to say what.  For the moment I'll just put it into template/solaris
unconditionally.
