At least one developer routinely tests on HPUX 10.20 and we -have reports of successful installations on HPUX 11.00 and 11.11. - -Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make -(HP's make will not do), and either GNU gcc or HP's full ANSI C compiler. -If you intend to build from CVS sources rather than a distribution tarball, -you will also need flex (GNU lex) and bison (GNU yacc). - -I'd also recommend making sure you are fairly up-to-date on HP -patches. At a minimum, if you are building 64 bit binaries on on HPUX -11.11 you may need PHSS_30966 (11.11) or a successor patch otherwise -initdb may hang: - - PHSS_30966 s700_800 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch - -On general principles you should be current on libc and ld/dld -patches, as well as compiler patches if you are using HP's C compiler. -See HP's support sites such as http://itrc.hp.com and -ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/ for free copies of their latest patches. - -If you are building on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine and want to have 64-bit -binaries using GCC, you must use GCC 64-bit version.

If you omit this setting, then configure will pick gcc -if it has a choice. - -The default install target location is /usr/local/pgsql, which -you might want to change to something under /opt.

All of these should be compensated for by the regression test -comparison mechanism, with the possible exception of some -low-order-digit differences in the geometry tests, which vary depending -on which compiler and math library versions you use. - -Any other error is cause for suspicion. |
