Hi Laurenz, hi all,<br>
<br>
This is a summary of what I have noticed concerning PostgreSQL 8.3.8
compilation on AIX 5.3 TL9.<br>
<br>
1. To do a successful 64-bit build, specify and execute:<br>
<blockquote><font face="Courier New" size="-1"># export
OBJECT_MODE="64"
<br>
# export CFLAGS="-maix64" <br>
# export LDFLAGS="-maix64 -Wl,-bbigtoc"
<br>
# ./configure
<br>
# gmake <br>
# gmake install </font><br>
</blockquote>
Laurenz, you are right: it is not necessary to specify: <br>
<pre wrap=""># export AR="ar -X64" </pre>
<br>
<br>
2. To do a successful 32-bit build, you must specify:<br>
<blockquote><font face="Courier New" size="-1"># export
OBJECT_MODE="32"
</font></blockquote>
and use the "<font color="#3333ff">-disable-largefile</font>" option
with configure :<br>
<blockquote><font face="Courier New" size="-1"># ./configure <font
color="#ff0000">-disable-largefile</font></font><br>
</blockquote>
If I use the "-disable-largefile" option, "configure" indicates at the
end: <br>
<blockquote><font color="#ff0000" face="Courier New" size="-1">configure:
WARNING: option ignored: --enable-largefile</font><br>
</blockquote>
And then, the compilation is successful:<br>
<blockquote><font color="#3333ff" face="Courier New" size="-1">All of
PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.</font><br>
</blockquote>
Without the "-disable-largefile" option, the compilation is still
failing with this error:<br>
<blockquote><font face="Courier New" size="-1">In file included from
psqlscan.c:2385:
<br>
/usr/include/unistd.h:171: error: conflicting types for 'lseek64'
<br>
/usr/include/unistd.h:169: error: previous declaration of 'lseek64'
<br>
was here
<br>
In file included from /usr/include/unistd.h:744,
<br>
from psqlscan.c:2385:
<br>
/usr/include/sys/lockf.h:64: error: conflicting types for 'lockf64'
<br>
/usr/include/sys/lockf.h:62: error: previous declaration of
<br>
'lockf64' was here
</font><br>
</blockquote>
Does someone have an idea about this ? <br>
Why the "-disable-largefile" option is necessary to do a PostgreSQL
8.3.8 32-build ? <br>
Why the "OBJECT_MODE" exported to 32 is not sufficient ? <br>
<br>
Thank you for your answer.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Alexandra<br>

Maybe the32-bit build failed because I have not set and exported the

I will try to build PostgreSQL once again with "export

I will look at the 32 bit case again.

You don't have to be root for this.

This should not be necessary - if you look at the man page of "ar"
you will see that the default value of the -X flag is derived
from OBJECT_MODE.

I'm glad that you got it to compile.
