|
1.1) What do I need to install PostgreSQL on HP-UX?
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL 7.3 should work on Series 700/800 PA-RISC machines running
|
|
HP-UX 10.X or 11.X, given appropriate system patch levels and build
|
|
tools. At least one developer routinely tests on HPUX 10.20 and we
|
|
have reports of successful installations on HPUX 11.00 and 11.11.
|
|
|
|
Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make
|
|
(HP's make will not do), and either GNU gcc or HP's full ANSI C compiler.
|
|
If you intend to build from CVS sources rather than a distribution tarball,
|
|
you will also need flex (GNU lex) and bison (GNU yacc).
|
|
|
|
I'd also recommend making sure you are fairly up-to-date on HP
|
|
patches. At a minimum, if you are building 64 bit binaries on on HPUX
|
|
11.11 you may need PHSS_30966 (11.11) or a successor patch otherwise
|
|
initdb may hang:
|
|
|
|
PHSS_30966 s700_800 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch
|
|
|
|
On general principles you should be current on libc and ld/dld
|
|
patches, as well as compiler patches if you are using HP's C compiler.
|
|
See HP's support sites such as http://itrc.hp.com and
|
|
ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/ for free copies of their latest patches.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine and want to have 64-bit
|
|
binaries using GCC, you must use GCC 64-bit version. GCC binaries for
|
|
HP-UX PA-RISC and Itanium are available from http://www.hp.com/go/gcc.
|
|
Don't forget to get and install binutils at the same time.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on a HP-UX Itanium machine, you will need the
|
|
latest HP ANSI C compiler with its dependent patch or successor
|
|
patches:
|
|
|
|
PHSS_30848 s700_800 HP C Compiler (A.05.57)
|
|
PHSS_30849 s700_800 u2comp/be/plugin library Patch
|
|
|
|
1.2) Anything special about the build/install procedure?
|
|
|
|
If you have both HP's C compiler and GCC's, then you might want to
|
|
explicitly select the compiler to use when you run `configure':
|
|
./configure CC=cc
|
|
for HP's C compiler, or
|
|
./configure CC=gcc
|
|
for GCC. If you omit this setting, then configure will pick gcc
|
|
if it has a choice.
|
|
|
|
The default install target location is /usr/local/pgsql, which
|
|
you might want to change to something under /opt. If so, use
|
|
the --prefix switch to configure.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine and want the compiled
|
|
binaries to run on PA-RISC 1.1 machines you will need to specify
|
|
+DAportable in CFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3) OK, it seemed to build and install, but the regression test fails.
|
|
|
|
There are several "expected failures" due to differences between HPUX
|
|
and the regression test reference platform used by the PostgreSQL
|
|
group. All of these should be compensated for by the regression test
|
|
comparison mechanism, with the possible exception of some
|
|
low-order-digit differences in the geometry tests, which vary depending
|
|
on which compiler and math library versions you use.
|
|
|
|
Any other error is cause for suspicion.
|
|
|
|
The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
|
|
on PA-RISC when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and
|
|
/sbin/sh. To fix this problem, you will need PHCO_30269 with its
|
|
dependent patch or successor patches:
|
|
|
|
PHCO_30269 s700_800 cumulative sh-posix(1) patch
|
|
PHCO_29816 s700_800 rc(1M) scripts cumulative patch
|
|
|
|
To work around this problem, use ksh to run the regression script:
|
|
|
|
gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
|
|
|
|
If you see that the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell
|
|
process is consuming CPU, kill the shell process and start over with the
|
|
above command.
