This allows it to be used on Windows without installing mingw (though you do still need 'diff'), and opens the door to future improvements such as message localization. Magnus Hagander and Tom Lane.

|
1.1) What do I need to install PostgreSQL on HP-UX?
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL 7.3 should work on Series 700/800 PA-RISC machines running
|
|
HP-UX 10.X or 11.X, given appropriate system patch levels and build
|
|
tools. At least one developer routinely tests on HPUX 10.20 and we
|
|
have reports of successful installations on HPUX 11.00 and 11.11.
|
|
|
|
Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make
|
|
(HP's make will not do), and either GNU gcc or HP's full ANSI C compiler.
|
|
If you intend to build from CVS sources rather than a distribution tarball,
|
|
you will also need flex (GNU lex) and bison (GNU yacc).
|
|
|
|
I'd also recommend making sure you are fairly up-to-date on HP
|
|
patches. At a minimum, if you are building 64 bit binaries on on HPUX
|
|
11.11 you may need PHSS_30966 (11.11) or a successor patch otherwise
|
|
initdb may hang:
|
|
|
|
PHSS_30966 s700_800 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch
|
|
|
|
On general principles you should be current on libc and ld/dld
|
|
patches, as well as compiler patches if you are using HP's C compiler.
|
|
See HP's support sites such as http://itrc.hp.com and
|
|
ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/ for free copies of their latest patches.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine and want to have 64-bit
|
|
binaries using GCC, you must use GCC 64-bit version. GCC binaries for
|
|
HP-UX PA-RISC and Itanium are available from http://www.hp.com/go/gcc.
|
|
Don't forget to get and install binutils at the same time.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on a HP-UX Itanium machine, you will need the
|
|
latest HP ANSI C compiler with its dependent patch or successor
|
|
patches:
|
|
|
|
PHSS_30848 s700_800 HP C Compiler (A.05.57)
|
|
PHSS_30849 s700_800 u2comp/be/plugin library Patch
|
|
|
|
1.2) Anything special about the build/install procedure?
|
|
|
|
If you have both HP's C compiler and GCC's, then you might want to
|
|
explicitly select the compiler to use when you run `configure':
|
|
./configure CC=cc
|
|
for HP's C compiler, or
|
|
./configure CC=gcc
|
|
for GCC. If you omit this setting, then configure will pick gcc
|
|
if it has a choice.
|
|
|
|
The default install target location is /usr/local/pgsql, which
|
|
you might want to change to something under /opt. If so, use
|
|
the --prefix switch to configure.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine and want the compiled
|
|
binaries to run on PA-RISC 1.1 machines you will need to specify
|
|
+DAportable in CFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3) OK, it seemed to build and install, but the regression test fails.
|
|
|
|
There are several "expected failures" due to differences between HPUX
|
|
and the regression test reference platform used by the PostgreSQL
|
|
group. All of these should be compensated for by the regression test
|
|
comparison mechanism, with the possible exception of some
|
|
low-order-digit differences in the geometry tests, which vary depending
|
|
on which compiler and math library versions you use.
|
|
|
|
Any other error is cause for suspicion.
