| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1.1) What extra items do I need to install Postgres95 under Irix? |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + You *must* have the following installed: |
| 38 | + a) Gnu make (installed as gmake) |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + You are recommended to install the following: |
| 41 | + a) GNU install (installed as ginstall) |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + You may choose to install the following: |
| 44 | + a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline |
| 45 | + support). |
| 46 | + b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh) |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +1.2) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global? |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + You *must* set the following variables: |
| 51 | + PORTNAME= irix5 |
| 52 | + IPCSDIR= /usr/sbin |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + You will also need to change the following to match your own |
| 55 | + installation: |
| 56 | + SRCDIR |
| 57 | + POSTGRESDIR |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these: |
| 60 | + TCL_INCDIR= |
| 61 | + TCL_LIBDIR= |
| 62 | + TCL_LIB = |
| 63 | + TK_INCDIR= |
| 64 | + TK_LIBDIR= |
| 65 | + TK_LIB = |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + You may also make any other changes you need as documented in |
| 68 | + the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +1.3) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in |
| 71 | + src/Makefile.global? |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific). |
| 74 | + It is fixed in 1.09. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +1.4) Are there any other changes I should make? |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you |
| 79 | + should edit src/mk/port/postgres.mk.irix5 |
| 80 | + and change the line: |
| 81 | + INSTALL=/usr/bin/X11/bsdinst |
| 82 | + to |
| 83 | + INSTALL=ginstall |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1 |
| 86 | + |

| 91 | + |
| 92 | +2.1) Why can't I move the executable files? |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | + By default, the IRIX port uses the BSD compatible version of |
| 95 | + install from /usr/bin/X11. If you read the man page for this |
| 96 | + version of install, you will see that it is not meant for |
| 97 | + end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning |
| 98 | + files it installs to root. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | + You should still be able to delete the files as you (the |
| 101 | + postgres user) will own the directory in which they are |
| 102 | + stored. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it |
| 105 | + takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore |
| 106 | + recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall). |
| 107 | + See Question 1.4 |

| 111 | +Section 3: Extending Postgres95 |
| 112 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 113 | +3.1) How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending |
| 114 | + Postgres95 |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | + Here is a sample command line: |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | + cc -I/usr/local/postgres95/include/ -I/usr/local/postgres95/src/backend |
| 119 | + -shared -o funcs.so funcs.c |
