7 | | -> Hi. I'd like to update the ports list in the docs to include |
8 | | -> references to v6.5 for the various platforms for which PostgreSQL-6.5b |
9 | | -> has been tested. |
10 | | - |
11 | | -PostgreSQL 6.5.2 compiles and regresses ok on AIX 4.3.2 |
12 | | -using the IBM compiler. |
13 | | -gcc has problems with shared libs that are not easily resolved. |
| 4 | +AIX 4.3.2 with native IBM compiler xlc 3.6.4 passes all regression tests. |
| 5 | +Other versions of OS and compiler should also work. If you don't have |
| 6 | +a powerpc there might be differences in the geometry regression test. |
14 | 7 |
|
15 | | -The following regression tests fail because of different rounding |
16 | | -behavior or error messages: |
17 | | -int2 .. failed-- same as int2-i386-netbsd.out |
18 | | -int4 .. failed-- same as int4-i386-netbsd.out |
19 | | -geometry .. failed-- Some Zero Values with minus sign (-0) |
20 | | -abstime .. failed |
21 | | -tinterval .. failed |
22 | | -horology .. failed |
| 8 | +Use the following configure flags in addition to your own: |
| 9 | +./configure --without-CXX |
| 10 | +and if you have readline there: |
| 11 | +--with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib |
23 | 12 |
|
24 | | -It has the following problems: |
| 13 | +libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string and bool classes. |
| 14 | +compiling the few files, that fail, with g++ does work. |
25 | 15 |
|
26 | | -1. AIX has int8,int16,int32,int64 in /usr/include/inttypes.h |
27 | | ---> configure fails to find snprintf support for int8 |
28 | | -(because it includes stdio.h) |
29 | | -I feel this is an IBM problem. I changed my /usr/include/inttypes.h |
30 | | -Either do that or comment out int8-int32 in src/include/c.h. |
31 | | - |
32 | | -2. libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string and bool classes. |
33 | | -it does compile/work with gcc |
| 16 | +Compiling PostgreSQL with gcc (2.95.2) on AIX does work if you use the |
| 17 | +configure |
| 18 | +option: --template=aix_gcc |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +With the current compiler flags the redefines of int8 - int64 that prior |
| 21 | +versions |
| 22 | +had a problem with are not a problem any more. |
