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.
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
Subject: [PATCHES] pqcomprim.c patch
This is the patch by Robert Bruccoleri to fix the endian problem.
(Actually, it's the reverse of his patch. He must have gotten the
order wrong.)
Subject: [PATCHES] 970417: some large object patches
Two patches here, made against 970417. Both have to do with large
objects:
1. lobjfuncs was not initialized in PQconnectdb. This causes
failure later if large objects are used. (Someone already
caught this error in PQsetdb.)
2. Postgres functions lo_import and lo_export sometimes
produce garbage for the file names because the filename
strings aren't always terminated by \0. (VARDATA isn't
necessarily null terminated.)
Subject: [PATCHES] 970417: two more patches for large objects
Here are two more patches:
1. pg_getint doesn't properly set the status flag when
calling pqGetShort or pqGetLong. This is required when
accessing large objects via libpq. This, combined with
problem 1 above causes postgres to crash when postgres
tries to print out the message that the status was not
good.
2. ExceptionalCondition crashes when called with detail =
NULL. This patch prevents dereferencing the NULL.
invalid macro definitions, the compiler complains about:
"pqcomprim.c", line 48.9: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text ';' ignored.
"pqcomprim.c", line 61.9: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text ';' ignored.
The ';' terminating the macro definition ntoh_s(n) on line 27 and
ntoh_l(n) on line 28 should be removed.

The Makefile(s) have all been cleaned up such that there is a single
LDFLAGS vs LD_ADD or LDADD or LDFLAGS or LDFLAGS_BE. The Makefile(s)
should be alot more straightforward then they were before...and
consistent
