-----------------------------------------------
Compilation fails with the error that ".seg" is no a recognised opcode.
The error is in src/backend/storage/lmgr/s_lock.c , lines 228 and 229.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Compile using Sun's C compiler.
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
.seg should be changed to .section.
Lines 229 and 229 in s_lock.c should be changed to the following :
asm(".section \"data\"");
asm(".section \"text\"");
From docs.sun.com SPARC assembly manual : "This pseudo-op (.seg) is
currently supported for compatibility with existing SunOS 4.1 SPARC
assembly language programs. This pseudo-op has been replaced by the
.section pseudo-op."
