Re: [EXTERNAL] - Re: Getting error while building PSQL 17.1 on AIX box

Hi

I guess that means we can't build PSQL 17.1 source code on AIX platform using the manual option by selecting a similar template such as solaris... using '—with-template' option for ./configure command.

I thought of this because of this error message :

bash-5.1# ./configure --prefix=/home/raghu/postgres/psql17/build --without-readline
checking build system type... powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.4.0
checking host system type... powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.4.0
checking which template to use... configure: error:

PostgreSQL has apparently not been ported to your platform yet.
To try a manual configuration, look into the src/template directory
for a similar platform and use the '--with-template=' option.

Thanks
Raghu

Read the cited thread. And also the thread it links to,

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20240224172345(dot)32(at)rfd(dot)leadboat(dot)com*8b41e50c2190c82c861d91644eed9c30__;Iw!!Obbck6kTJA!c215wjJCLeopwrqfqd5eGf6JBrLr7qc8oIw6vgmnnRSErpFiyE3W3nytN3saUIfBTzz_lHEtu3MKvRib$

The lack of working alignment support initially complained of there
was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Andres mentioned a
selection of other AIX problems here:
