System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Sparc
Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : SunOS 5.8 (Solaris 8)
PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.2): PostgreSQL-7.0.3
Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : gcc 2.95.2
Postgres failed to compile on my system with or without any configuration options.
'gmake' died with this error message every time I tried to compile:
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/packages/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src/backend/lib' gcc -I../../include -I../../backend -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -I.. -c stringinfo.c -o stringinfo.o stringinfo.c: In function `appendStringInfo': stringinfo.c:115: `va_list' undeclared (first use in this function) stringinfo.c:115: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once stringinfo.c:115: for each function it appears in.) stringinfo.c:115: parse error before `args' stringinfo.c:121: warning: implicit declaration of function `va_start' stringinfo.c:121: `args' undeclared (first use in this function) stringinfo.c:123: warning: implicit declaration of function `va_end' gmake[2]: *** [stringinfo.o] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/packages/src/postgresql-6.5.2/src/backend/lib' gmake[1]: *** [lib.dir] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/packages/src/postgresql-6.5.2/src/backend' gmake: *** [all] Error 2
../backend/nodes/list.c also had the same error with 'va-list' being undeclared.
