least, Solaris 2.5.1. We use it in backend/utils/adt/int8.c.
Add a check to configure so that we see if it exists or not, and, if not,
compile in snprintf.c from backend/port, which was taken from, and falls under
the same Berkeley license as us, the FreeBSD libc/stdio ...
in a more readable form. -- I am submitting the following patches
to the June 6, 1998 snapshot of PostgreSQL. These patches implement
a port of PostgreSQL to SCO UnixWare 7, and updates the Univel port
(UnixWare 2.x). The patched files, and the reason
for the patch are:
File Reason for the patch ---------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
src/backend/port/dynloader/unixware.c src/backend/port/dynloader/unixware.h
src/include/port/unixware.h src/makefiles/Makefile.unixware
src/template/unixware
Created for the UNIXWARE port.
src/include/port/univel.h
Modifed this file to work with the changes made to
s_lock.[ch].
src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c src/include/storage/s_lock.h
Moved the UNIXWARE (and Univel) tas() function from
s_lock.c to s_lock.h. The UnixWare compiler asm
construct is treated as a macro and needs to be in
the s_lock.h file. I also reworked the tas()
function to correct some errors in the code.
src/include/version.h.in
The use of the ## operator with quoted strings in
the VERSION macro caused problems with the UnixWare
C compiler. I removed the ## operators since they
were not needed in this case. The macro expands
into a sequence of quoted strings that will be
concatenated by any ANSI C compiler.
src/config.guess
This script was modified to recognize SCO UnixWare
7.
src/configure src/configure.in
The configure script was modified to recognize SCO
UnixWare 7.

I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';
Other features include:
Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness
See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are
against May 30 snapshot.

Attached patch will add a version() function to Postges, e.g.
template1=> select version();
version

PostgreSQL 6.3.2 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.8.1
(1 row)
Hi, here are patches I promised (against 6.3.2):
* character_length(), position(), substring() are now aware of
multi-byte characters
* add octet_length()
* add --with-mb option to configure
* new regression tests for EUC_KR
(contributed by "Soonmyung. Hong" <hong@lunaris.hanmesoft.co.kr>)
* add some test cases to the EUC_JP regression test
* fix problem in regress/regress.sh in case of System V
* fix toupper(), tolower() to handle 8bit chars
note that:
o patches for both configure.in and configure are
included. maybe the one for configure is not necessary.
o pg_proc.h was modified to add octet_length(). I used OIDs
(1374-1379) for that. Please let me know if these numbers are not
appropriate.
HP-UX (all versions) requires shared libraries to have execute
permission, and really needs them to be exactly mode 555 for
performance reasons. The standard configure/install procedure
installs libpq.sl as mode 644, which DOES NOT WORK.
The attached patch modifies the makefiles to distinguish
INSTL_LIB_OPTS (install mode for ordinary libraries) from
INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS (mode for shared libs), and adds a test
to configure to set INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS="-m 555" when on HP-UX.
Here is a pair of patches that (I hope) finish the configuration
issues with tcl/tk and make the recognition of the two packages
completely parallel in organization. This should make future changes
easier to maintain.
Hope to see this in 6.2.2.
probleme number 1 :
- configure can find the library readline , but don't
find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
.
probleme number 2 :
- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) . you
can compile the version 6.3 . I use this prefix , when configure
ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
.
( because there a conflict in the header when you
compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
directive -I .

the configuration of v6.3.1. I have replaced the queries for
include/lib directories with --with configuration options. I have
also included a list of potential tcl/tk include directories directly
in the CPPFLAGS variable. As new versions are needed, these should
be added to the list in reverse numerical order (libraries are in
a separate list near the end). This greatly simplifies the later
checks if --with-tcl is set. I hope this solution works for
everyone.
I also added a check to disable the perl support if postgres was
not already installed (as per the instructions in the directory).
By the way, why must there be an installed pgsql to compile perl
support? This seems odd, at best.
Finally, I changed the Makefile in the libpgtcl interface to place
the shared libraries at the end of the list of files, not at the
beginning. With NetBSD at least, libraries are linked in order,
so the original sequence does not work.

However somebody else also applied a patch to the same part of
configure to fix a different problem. So part of my patch was not
applied or got reversed or ... whatever.
The attached patch will restore configure --with-tcl to working
order and should remove a lot of the messages complaining about
tcl not working.

2) Add "#define gettimeofday(a,b) gettimeofday(a) to src/include/config.h
On the 88k SVR4, gettimeofday only has one argument. This is
checked for in a few other packages by configure, so there should
be some examples of the configure test out there.
There is an error in the configure script when using
--with-pgport= that will cause the compiled version of
PostgreSQL to no longer allow connections to the
new port and to treat shared memory improperly.
What happens is that if the port is changed, the configure
script defines DEF_PGPORT as "", which atoi() will return
as 0, which makes the IPC_KEY value 0. This then causes
semaphores to be allocated, but never released. Postgres
eventually returns from semget() with
"no space left on device". The source of this error could
easily be overlooked in version 6.3 since it is possible
to connect via UNIX domain sockets, and having DEF_PGPORT
defined as "0" would not be noticed until TCP was used.
Included are patches intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle
multi-byte charachter sets such as EUC(Extende Unix Code), Unicode and
Mule internal code. With the MB patch you can use multi-byte character
sets in regexp and LIKE. The encoding system chosen is determined at
the compile time.
To enable the MB extension, you need to define a variable "MB" in
Makefile.global or in Makefile.custom. For further information please
take a look at README.mb under doc directory.
(Note that unlike "jp patch" I do not use modified GNU regexp any
more. I changed Henry Spencer's regexp coming with PostgreSQL.)
Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).
