|

|

If gmake fails in .../src/backend while building obj/ACCESS.o
|

with a message from ld32, you can work around this by using
|
||||
ld for the LD environment variable rather than cc.
|
||||
|
||||
The problem has been observed under Irix 5.3 when compiling both
|
||||
Postgres95-1.09 and PostgreSQL-6.2Beta6, but on some systems
|
||||
these appear to compile with no such problems.

1.7) Why won't it link? (Problems with lorder)
|

|
||||
According to the IRIX man pages, lorder is useless, but harmless
|
||||
under IRIX. However, it has caused problems for some people
|
||||
using both IRIX 6.2.
|
||||
|
||||
The solution is to add the following line to
|
||||
.../src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5
|
||||
|
||||
MK_NO_LORDER=true

1.8) I have major problems with IRIX 6!
|
||||
|

The following is quoted directly from Bob Bruccoleri
|
||||
|
||||
There is a really nasty loader bug in the compiler system (7.1)
|
||||
on Irix 6.x, and the error that Lasse Petersen is the result of it.
|
||||
Here is the original message. I don't know if all the changes have been
|
||||
folded into the current release.
|
||||
|

|
||||
From: bruc@bms.com (Robert Bruccoleri)
|
||||
Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4
|
||||
|
||||
I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler
|
||||
mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits addressin
|
||||
g,
|
||||
but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.)
|
||||
There were several problems:
|
||||
|
||||
1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On
|
||||
this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles
|
||||
were changed as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
2) There is a bug in "ld" which mishandles the addresses of static procedures
|
||||
when object files are assembled into larger object files using "ld -r".
|
||||
Because of this, I put a hack into src/backend/Makefile to avoid all the
|
||||
SUBSYS.o files and just link all the objects. I have contacted SGI about the
|
||||
problem, and hopefully, it will be fixed in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression
|
||||
tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation
|
||||
log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you.
|
||||
|
||||
The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom:
|
||||
|
||||
CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32
|
||||
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
|
||||
LD = ld -n32
|
||||
CC += -n32
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the patches:

1.9) Why does lex fail with PostgreSQL 6.2.1?
|
||||
|
||||
IRIX 5.3 lex has been reported to fail in
|
||||
postgresql-6.2.1/src/backend/parser with the error:
|
||||
|
||||
lex scan.l
|
||||
"scan.l":line 86: Error: Invalid request %x xc
|
||||
gmake[2]: *** [scan.c] Error 1
|
||||
|
||||
The answer is to use GNU flex 2.5.4 or later. Use the command
|
||||
flex --version
|
||||
to check you have a new enough version of flex
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.10) How do I install PostgreSQL V6.3 under Irix 6.x?
|
||||
|
||||
Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of
|
||||
static procedures when object files are assembled into
|
||||
larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported
|
||||
to Silicon Graphics.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on your Irix installation you may also encounter
|
||||
2 other problems detailed below: Conflict in C standards,
|
||||
Conflict in library functions.
|
||||
|
||||
a) Solving the ld bug
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively,
|
||||
the following patch should be applied as a workaround.
|
||||
(Supplied by Bob Bruccoleri and modified for
|
||||
PostgreSQL V6.3 by Lasse Hiller Petersen )
|
||||
|
||||
Apply the following patch:

|

|

|

|
||||
Lasse configured with ./configure --enable-locale
|
||||
and modified Makefile.custom to contain:
|
||||
CC = cc -n32
|
||||
LD = ld -n32
|
||||
|
||||
He reports that the installation without -n32 works fine too,
|
||||
but the -n32 was required for compatibility with his Perl
|
||||
installation. His system was an Origin200 running IRIX64 v6.4.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
b) Conflict in C standards
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I have found that the following patch is also necessary in order
|
||||
to prevent a duplicate definition of a Union used for semaphores.
|
||||
Apply the following patch to:
|
||||
.../src/makefile/Makefile.irix5:

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
i.e. the addition of the line:
|
||||
CFLAGS+= -U_NO_XOPEN4
|
||||
|
||||
This is needed to stop the semun union being redefined in
|
||||
/usr/include/sys/sem.h
|
||||
|
||||
c) Conflict in library functions
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, if you have the nsl and crypt libraries these will
|
||||
conflict with the required definitions. I think that libnsl.a
|
||||
may be the Netware socket library (or something similar). In
|
||||
any case, if you have these libraries, they will be added to
|
||||
Makefile.global and you will need to remove them.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, you should edit .../src/Makefile.global. Goto (approximately)
|
||||
line 217 where LDFLAGS= is set and remove -lnsl and -lcrypt
|
||||
from this line.

Section 2: Deinstalling PostgreSQL
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
2.1) Why can't I move the executable files?
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the IRIX port uses the BSD compatible version of
|
||||
install from /usr/bin/X11. If you read the man page for this
|
||||
version of install, you will see that it is not meant for
|
||||
end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning
|
||||
files it installs to root.
|
||||
|
||||
You should still be able to delete the files as you (the
|
||||
postgres user) will own the directory in which they are
|
||||
stored.
|
||||
|
||||
The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it
|
||||
takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore
|
||||
recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall).
|
||||
See Question 1.4
