* Developer's Guide - for contributing to the PostgreSQL |
||||||
You *must* have the following installed: |
distribution |
||||||
a) Gnu make (installed as gmake) |
* CVS/CVSUP FAQ access to source code |
||||||
|
* History of PostgreSQL Development |
||||||
You are recommended to install the following: |
|
||||||
a) GNU install (installed as ginstall) |
|
||||||
(This is part of the GNU fileutils package) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may choose to install the following: |
|
||||||
a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline |
|
||||||
support). |
|
||||||
b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.2) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global or |
|
||||||
src/Makefile.custom? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The easiest way to do this is to use the customize script in |
|
||||||
the src directory. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You *must* set the following variables: |
|
||||||
PORTNAME= irix5 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You will also need to change the following to match your own |
|
||||||
installation: |
|
||||||
POSTGRESDIR |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these: |
|
||||||
TCL_INCDIR= |
|
||||||
TCL_LIBDIR= |
|
||||||
TCL_LIB = |
|
||||||
TK_INCDIR= |
|
||||||
TK_LIBDIR= |
|
||||||
TK_LIB = |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may also make any other changes you need as documented in |
|
||||||
the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.3) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in |
|
||||||
src/Makefile.global? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific). |
|
||||||
It is fixed in 1.09 and above. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.4) Are there any other changes I should make? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you |
|
||||||
should add the following line to src/Makefile.custom: |
|
||||||
CUSTOM_INSTALL=ginstall |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1 |
|
||||||
Ginstall is part of the GNU fileutils package. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.5) Can I install PostgreSQL (<V6.3) under Irix 6.x? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Instructions for PostgreSQL V6.3 are answered in Question 1.10! |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of |
|
||||||
static procedures when object files are assembled into |
|
||||||
larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported |
|
||||||
to Silicon Graphics. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively, |
|
||||||
the following patch should be applied as a workaround. |

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If gmake fails in .../src/backend while building obj/ACCESS.o |
|
||||||
with a message from ld32, you can work around this by using |
|
||||||
ld for the LD environment variable rather than cc. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The problem has been observed under Irix 5.3 when compiling both |
|
||||||
Postgres95-1.09 and PostgreSQL-6.2Beta6, but on some systems |
|
||||||
these appear to compile with no such problems. |
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
1.7) Why won't it link? (Problems with lorder) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
According to the IRIX man pages, lorder is useless, but harmless |
|
||||||
under IRIX. However, it has caused problems for some people |
|
||||||
using both IRIX 6.2. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The solution is to add the following line to |
|
||||||
.../src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
MK_NO_LORDER=true |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.8) I have major problems with IRIX 6! |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The following is quoted directly from Bob Bruccoleri <bruc@bms.com> |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is a really nasty loader bug in the compiler system (7.1) |
|
||||||
on Irix 6.x, and the error that Lasse Petersen is the result of it. |
|
||||||
Here is the original message. I don't know if all the changes have been |
|
||||||
folded into the current release. |

||||||

||||||

|
||||||
From: bruc@bms.com (Robert Bruccoleri) |
|
||||||
Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler |
|
||||||
mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits addressing, |
|
||||||
but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.) |
|
||||||
There were several problems: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On |
|
||||||
this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles |
|
||||||
were changed as needed. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2) There is a bug in "ld" which mishandles the addresses of static procedures |
|
||||||
when object files are assembled into larger object files using "ld -r". |
|
||||||
Because of this, I put a hack into src/backend/Makefile to avoid all the |
|
||||||
SUBSYS.o files and just link all the objects. I have contacted SGI about the |
|
||||||
problem, and hopefully, it will be fixed in the near future. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression |
|
||||||
tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation |
|
||||||
log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32 |
|
||||||
MK_NO_LORDER = 1 |
|
||||||
LD = ld -n32 |
|
||||||
CC += -n32 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

1.9) Why does lex fail with PostgreSQL 6.2.1? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
IRIX 5.3 lex has been reported to fail in |
|
||||||
postgresql-6.2.1/src/backend/parser with the error: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
lex scan.l |
|
||||||
"scan.l":line 86: Error: Invalid request %x xc |
|
||||||
gmake[2]: *** [scan.c] Error 1 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The answer is to use GNU flex 2.5.4 or later. Use the command |
|
||||||
flex --version |
|
||||||
to check you have a new enough version of flex |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.10) How do I install PostgreSQL V6.3 under Irix 6.x? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of |
|
||||||
static procedures when object files are assembled into |
|
||||||
larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported |
|
||||||
to Silicon Graphics. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Depending on your Irix installation you may also encounter |
|
||||||
2 other problems detailed below: Conflict in C standards, |
|
||||||
Conflict in library functions. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
a) Solving the ld bug |
|
||||||
--------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively, |
|
||||||
the following patch should be applied as a workaround. |

He reports that the installation without -n32 works fine too, |
|
||||||
but the -n32 was required for compatibility with his Perl |
|
||||||
installation. His system was an Origin200 running IRIX64 v6.4. |

b) Conflict in C standards |
|
||||||
-------------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I have found that the following patch is also necessary in order |
|
||||||
to prevent a duplicate definition of a Union used for semaphores. |
|
||||||
Apply the following patch to: |
|
||||||
.../src/makefile/Makefile.irix5: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*** src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5.orig Thu Mar 5 16:59:58 1998 |
|
||||||
--- src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5 Thu Mar 5 17:01:13 1998 |
|
||||||
*************** |
|
||||||
*** 6,9 **** |
|
||||||
%.so: %.o |
|
||||||
$(LD) -G -Bdynamic -shared -o $@ $< |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
! |
|
||||||
--- 6,9 ---- |
|
||||||
%.so: %.o |
|
||||||
$(LD) -G -Bdynamic -shared -o $@ $< |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
! CFLAGS+= -U_NO_XOPEN4 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
i.e. the addition of the line: |
|
||||||
CFLAGS+= -U_NO_XOPEN4 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is needed to stop the semun union being redefined in |
|
||||||
/usr/include/sys/sem.h |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
c) Conflict in library functions |
|
||||||
-------------------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In addition, if you have the nsl and crypt libraries these will |
|
||||||
conflict with the required definitions. I think that libnsl.a |
|
||||||
may be the Netware socket library (or something similar). In |
|
||||||
any case, if you have these libraries, they will be added to |
|
||||||
Makefile.global and you will need to remove them. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Thus, you should edit .../src/Makefile.global. Goto (approximately) |
|
||||||
line 217 where LDFLAGS= is set and remove -lnsl and -lcrypt |
|
||||||
from this line. |

Section 2: Deinstalling PostgreSQL |
|

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

Section 3: Extending PostgreSQL |
|
||||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||||
3.1) How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending |
|
||||||
PostgreSQL |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is a sample command line: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cc -I/usr/local/PostgreSQL/include/ -I/usr/local/PostgreSQL/src/backend |
|
||||||
-shared -o funcs.so funcs.c |
