Обсуждение: Build failure

Greetings,

I'm trying without much luck to compile the 31MAR04 snapshot of PostgreSQL
on a Win2K box.

I have installed MSYS-1.09 MSYS-DTK-1.01, GNU Bison 1.875.0, MinGW 3.1.0,
some Perl interpreter (I think I'm using the one from Cygwin, hopefully
that's OK), and ./configure'd --without-zlib, and typed make.

Got the attached error log.

Re-ran make with -k, then again, and got the second error log.

Fiddled with -DWIN32, with spraying #defines -- no dice, c.h always ends up
including pg_config_os.h

I ended up touching pg_config_os.h to see where this would lead, but
gettimeofday.c wasn't happy.

Obviously, I missed an obvious step somewhere?

Of course, if "make 2>&1 >error2.log" was actually redirecting stderr to
error2.log (or if I actually typed the right command line), error2.log would
have contained something interesting (in a nutshell, the same error as
error.log, but spread over multiple translation units).

Hi!

The line:
../../src/include/c.h:80:26: pg_config_os.h: No such file or directory

looks like your configure failed. It should include pg_config_os.h -
configure will symlink (which on mingw means copy, more or less)
port/win32.h. You could manually copy port/win32.h to pg_config_os.h,
but if configure is failing, I'm sure there will be other issues.
This includefile is very critical - it contains most of the definitions
for win32 fixes. So just dropping an empty file in there will give you a
lot of more problems than just gettimeofday.

Did configure give you any errors or warnings?

Under MingW, I have on very rare occasions seen configure run just fine, yet
fail on make due to missing links (which configure claims to have made).

Has only happened a handful of times. Definitely a MingW/msys quirk.

Cheers,
Claudio

OK, this was the thing I didn't figure out

Nothing that caused me to worry, but maybe I wasn't paying attention enough.
I'm downloading the 01APR04 snapshot and running configure again to see
what's going on.

Done. I'm attaching here the configure.log, which appears healthy. I then
typed make, and was greeted by the output from make.log.

I then checked all the links that configure claimed it built. For some,
there were indeed files there, but the following files were still missing:
    src/Makefile.port
    src/include/dynloader.h
    src/port/dynloader.c
    src/port/tas.s
I created the files manually (using ln -s, by first changing into the
links's subdirectory and fishing the source by relative path), and issued
"make". It now builds clean!

Thanks for the advice.

Oh, ok. Never had that one happen.

If you just re-run configure, it goes away?

If so, this should probably go on the win32 page as a note.

Hello all,

Can I get and from where the latest compiled pgsql that I can run / test
on my W2k system? Anything like a night build available?

What is visible time frame for pgsql win32 beta and release? A Month,
two months, etc.

Thank you very much.

p.s. is anything better then postgres_beta4.zip v.7.2.1 I can use and
where I can get it?

Best Regards.
Michael.

The 7.2.1 version is the easiest to get up and running.  Next easiest is
the cygwin version which is recent.  Just look for cygwin.  If you are a
newbie, either of these gets my vote.  7.2.1 is starting to look a
little old, but it's pretty functional.

Right now I am using the Interix port, which is pretty stable.  This is
a moderate compiling challenge however.  If you need a production
windows server *right now*, this gets my vote, but you have to know what
your doing.

The mingw/msys version will soon be the only choice.  At the moment you
have to compile it (from the daily changing cvs sources) and from what I
understand an out of the box compile only has about 50% chance of
working depending on your compiling skills.   Also, there are certain
missing niceties like a service manager which will appear at some point
and this version still has a few annoying bugs.

My understanding is that the win32 port will go beta in 2-3 months.
Probably around this time a binary install package will appear.  Then
comes the fun part :)
