Обсуждение: Solaris 8 compilation errors
Hello, Am new to list (and Solaris for that matter). I have tried a couple of times to compile postgres 7.0.3 under solaris 8 and it fails consistently, reporting an error 2 in string_info.c (I can supply the full text of the build if it's helpful.) Have tried a couple of different configurations all have --with-tcl in common. Configure always completes correctly... Am using gmake 3.79.1 and gcc 2.95. I don't see Solaris 8 on the list of supported platforms, but Solaris 7 is there, so I had hoped 8 would work pretty much the same. Has anyone else run into this problem? -john

In src/include/c.h, try including <stddef.h> and <stdarg.h>
unconditionally --- that is, remove #ifdef STDC_HEADERS / #endif
near line 53. This is what we are doing in the 7.1 sources...

Tom, This appears to have done it. Everything compiled properly; postgres announced it was ready for install. (One minor hitch with "ar" not being in my PATH... I have to say: Solaris is vastly more of a PITA than FreeBSD, the only *NIX with which I have any familiarity. No ports tree in Sol8...)

Hi John, It can't find one of the header files it needs to compile that file. I looked around and cannot find the header containing the definition of va_args anywhere -- these developers will know. Did you download gcc for Solaris 8 as a binary or package? If so, Bad idea -- and here's why: I had always downloaded the Solaris 7 binary for gcc. The problem is the libraries "they" used to make that version of gcc most likely don't match your machine at all. What you gotta do is: 1. download a gcc for sol 8. 2. download the sources for gcc (yea they're huge) 3. compile gcc using the binary/package you downloaded. 4. install the new freshly compiled version Sure as sh*ttin', everything works after that (compiler wise). Also for some reason, I have trouble compiling things a lot of the time if I'm logged in as root, but not as a reg user (with gcc). So usually I compile as a regular user, then run the gmake install as root. OH -- make sure you are using gmake instead of distributed make. That can make a huge difference. Hope this helps -- I'll be compiling 7.1 for solaris 8 thursday on a new box (with gcc and sun c both) so I could help out with that if u can wait and are interested in 7.1 L8r, George Johnson -----Original Message----- From: J.Goodleaf [mailto:john@goodleaf.net] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 5:42 PM To: Martin A.
