Обсуждение: pgsql for Solaris 8 (SPARC)

Hi,
    Where can I find a compiled version of PostGreSQL 7.2.1 for
Solaris 8 (SPARC)?


Regards,
Adonis.

Here's what I recommend (based on actually DOING THIS):

1. Have your Solaris admin install the GNU tools in /usr/local/bin. You
want at least GCC, autoconf, and make. Postgres main page may tell you the
exhaustive list of tools you need (it's not more than about 12). Safe bet,
install everything at www.sunfreeware.com.

2. Install Postgres source code.

3. export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

4. ./configure ; make ; make install

Yes, that's it. It compiled TRIVIALLY for me after GNU tools were
installed. Any Solaris admin worth a shaker of salt will be able to
install the GNU tools in a short afternoon. They're all on
http://www.sunfreeware.com.

I DON'T recommend getting some precompiled binaries.

Actually, you frequently need to add

    /usr/ccs/bin

to the PATH as well.  You may find ar in there, and depending on
whether you installed the GNU ld package, you'll probably need it.
Add that bit to the end of the PATH, because if ar is installed, so
is the Sun version of make, which doesn't work with PostgreSQL.
