1.1) What do I need to install PostgreSQL on IRIX?
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL has been reported to run successfully on MIPS r8000, r10000(both
|
|
ip25 and ip27) and r12000(ip35) processors, running IRIX 6.5.5m, 6.5.12,
|
|
6.5.13, and 6.5.26 with MIPSPro compilers version 7.30, 7.3.1.2m, 7.3, and
|
|
7.4.4m.
|
|
|
|
Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make
|
|
(SGI's make will not do), and the MIPSPro full ANSI C compiler.
|
|
|
|
There are problems trying to build with GCC. It is a known gcc bug
|
|
(not fixed as of version 3.0) related to using functions that return
|
|
certain kinds of structures. This bug affects functions like
|
|
inet_ntoa, inet_lnaof, inet_netof, inet_makeaddr and semctl. It is
|
|
supposed to be fixed by forcing code to link those functions with
|
|
libgcc, but this has not been tested yet.
|
|
|
|
It is known that version 7.4.1m of the MIPSPro compiler generates
|
|
incorrect code. (Symptom is "invalid primary checkpoint record"
|
|
when trying to start the database.) Version 7.4.4m is OK; the status
|
|
of intermediate versions is uncertain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.2) Anything special about the build/install procedure?
|
|
|
|
There may be a compilation problem like the following:
|
|
|
|
cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = pqcomm.c, Line = 427
|
|
The identifier "TCP_NODELAY" is undefined.
|
|
|
|
if (setsockopt(port->sock, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY,
|
|
|
|
Some versions include TCP definitions in <sys/xti.h>, so it is necessary to
|
|
add #include <sys/xti.h> in src/backend/libpq/pqcomm.c and in
|
|
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3) OK, it seemed to build and install, but the regression test fails.
|
|
|
|
There are several "expected failures" due to differences between your platform
|
|
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 (depending on which FPU are you using).
|
|
|
|
Any other error is cause for suspicion.
