PostgreSQL 6.5.2 compiles and regresses ok on AIX 4.3.2
using the IBM compiler.
gcc has problems with shared libs that are not easily resolved.
AIX 4.3.2 with native IBM compiler xlc 3.6.4 passes all regression tests.
Other versions of OS and compiler should also work. If you don't have
a powerpc there might be differences in the geometry regression test.
The following regression tests fail because of different rounding
behavior or error messages:
int2 .. failed -- same as int2-i386-netbsd.out
int4 .. failed -- same as int4-i386-netbsd.out
geometry .. failed -- Some Zero Values with minus sign (-0)
abstime .. failed
tinterval .. failed
horology .. failed
Use the following configure flags in addition to your own:
./configure --without-CXX
and if you have readline there:
--with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib
It has the following problems:
libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string and bool classes.
compiling the few files, that fail, with g++ does work.
1. AIX has int8,int16,int32,int64 in /usr/include/inttypes.h
--> configure fails to find snprintf support for int8
(because it includes stdio.h)
I feel this is an IBM problem. I changed my /usr/include/inttypes.h
Either do that or comment out int8-int32 in src/include/c.h.
2. libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string and bool classes.
it does compile/work with gcc
Compiling PostgreSQL with gcc (2.95.2) on AIX does work if you use the
configure
option: --template=aix_gcc
With the current compiler flags the redefines of int8 - int64 that prior
versions
had a problem with are not a problem any more.
