|
||||
0.1) What bugs do I need to fix before Postgres95 will compile
|
||||
under Irix?
|
||||
|
||||
a) Fix the bug in src/Makefile.global:
|
||||
Change
|
||||
# Globally pass PORTNAME
|
||||
CFLAGS+= -DPORTNAME_$(PORTNAME)
|
||||
CFLAGS += -I ../../backend/port/$(PORTNAME)
|
||||
to
|
||||
# Globally pass PORTNAME
|
||||
CFLAGS+= -DPORTNAME_$(PORTNAME)
|
||||
CFLAGS += -I../../backend/port/$(PORTNAME)
|
||||
|
||||
(i.e. remove the space after the -I)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
b) Add the missing prototype to src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.h
|
||||
After the line
|
||||
extern int findLastBuiltinOid();
|
||||
add
|
||||
extern void setMaxOid(FILE *fout);

Section 1: Installing Postgres95
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1.1) What extra items do I need to install Postgres95 under Irix?
|
||||
|
||||
You *must* have the following installed:
|
||||
a) Gnu make (installed as gmake)
|
||||
|
||||
You are recommended to install the following:
|
||||
a) GNU install (installed as ginstall)
|
||||
|
||||
You may choose to install the following:
|
||||
a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline
|
||||
support).
|
||||
b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh)
|
||||
|
||||
1.2) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global?
|
||||
|
||||
You *must* set the following variables:
|
||||
PORTNAME= irix5
|
||||
IPCSDIR= /usr/sbin
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to change the following to match your own
|
||||
installation:
|
||||
SRCDIR
|
||||
POSTGRESDIR
|
||||
|
||||
If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
|
||||
TCL_INCDIR=
|
||||
TCL_LIBDIR=
|
||||
TCL_LIB =
|
||||
TK_INCDIR=
|
||||
TK_LIBDIR=
|
||||
TK_LIB =
|
||||
|
||||
You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
|
||||
the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
|
||||
|
||||
1.3) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
|
||||
src/Makefile.global?
|
||||
|
||||
These are Sun Solaris specific and shouldn't be in Makefile.global
|
||||
The compile (including pgtclsh) seems to go OK even though
|
||||
these don't exist...
|
||||
|
||||
1.4) Are there any other changes I should make?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you
|
||||
should edit src/mk/port/postgres.mk.irix5
|
||||
and change the line:
|
||||
INSTALL=/usr/bin/X11/bsdinst
|
||||
to
|
||||
INSTALL=ginstall
|
||||
|
||||
For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1

||||

----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||

|
||||
3.1) How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending
|
||||
Postgres95
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a sample command line:
|
||||
|
||||
cc -I/usr/local/postgres95/include/ -I/usr/local/postgres95/src/backend
|
||||
-shared -o funcs.so funcs.c
