1.7) Why won't it link? (Problems with lorder)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
According to the IRIX man pages, lorder is useless, but harmless
|
||||||
|
under IRIX. However, it has caused problems for some people
|
||||||
|
using both IRIX 6.2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The solution is to add the following line to
|
||||||
|
.../src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5
|

|

MK_NO_LORDER=true

The following is quoted directly from Bob Bruccoleri <bruc@bms.com>
|

|
|
||||||
|
There is a really nasty loader bug in the compiler system (7.1)
|
||||||
|
on Irix 6.x, and the error that Lasse Petersen is the result of it.
|
||||||
|
Here is the original message. I don't know if all the changes have been

||||||

folded into the current release.

Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler
|
||||||
|
mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits addressing,
|
||||||
|
but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.)
|
||||||
|
There were several problems:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On
|
||||||
|
this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles
|
||||||
|
were changed as needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2) There is a bug in "ld" which mishandles the addresses of static procedures
|
||||||
|
when object files are assembled into larger object files using "ld -r".
|
||||||
|
Because of this, I put a hack into src/backend/Makefile to avoid all the
|
||||||
|
SUBSYS.o files and just link all the objects. I have contacted SGI about the
|
||||||
|
problem, and hopefully, it will be fixed in the near future.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression
|
||||||
|
tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation
|
||||||
|
log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32
|
||||||
|
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
|
||||||
|
LD = ld -n32
|
||||||
|
CC += -n32
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here are the patches:

1.9) Why does lex fail with PostgreSQL 6.2.1?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IRIX 5.3 lex has been reported to fail in
|
||||||
|
postgresql-6.2.1/src/backend/parser with the error:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
lex scan.l
|
||||||
|
"scan.l":line 86: Error: Invalid request %x xc
|
||||||
|
gmake[2]: *** [scan.c] Error 1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The answer is to use GNU flex 2.5.4 or later. Use the command
|
||||||
|
flex --version
|
||||||
|
to check you have a new enough version of flex

1.19) Why does make exit or crash?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There have been a couple of reports of gmake either just
|
||||||
|
exiting early or seg faulting. The latter problem was reported
|
||||||
|
with gmake 3.74 - upgrading to 3.76.1 solved the problem.
|
||||||
|
However, 3.74 is known to work fine in other people's setups.
|
||||||
|
In short, try upgrading gmake to the latest version you can
|
||||||
|
find before reporting this as a problem
