From 47d6d641dda58cf2c25f11a67d6a8ac22c1c97a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Eisentraut Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:46:19 +0000 Subject: Include the platform "FAQs" into the installation instructions. I weeded out some really old information along the way. FAQ_AIX needs separate consideration and will be dealt with later. --- doc/FAQ_SCO | 185 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 185 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 doc/FAQ_SCO (limited to 'doc/FAQ_SCO') diff --git a/doc/FAQ_SCO b/doc/FAQ_SCO deleted file mode 100644 index 6e255aa6a8e..00000000000 --- a/doc/FAQ_SCO +++ /dev/null @@ -1,185 +0,0 @@ -======================================================= -Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for PostgreSQL -IRIX Specific -TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NORMAL FAQ -======================================================= -last updated: $Date: 2006/12/05 14:47:34 $ - -current maintainer: Billy G.

The Skunkware CD is -included with UnixWare 7 and current versions of OpenServer 5. - -Skunkware includes ready-to-install versions of many popular programs that -are available on the Internet. For example, gzip, gunzip, GNU make, flex, -and bison are all included. - -If you do not have this CD, the software on it is available via anonymous -ftp from ftp.sco.com/skunkware. - -For UnixWare 7.1, this CD is now labeled "Open License Software Supplement". - -Skunkware has different versions for UnixWare and OpenServer. Make sure -you install the correct version for your operating system, except as noted -below. - -Note: on UnixWare 7.1.3 and beyond, the GCC compiler is included on the UDK -CD as is GNUMake. - -*************************************************************************** -*) GNU Make - -You need to use the GNU make program, which is on the Skunkware CD. By -default, it installs as /usr/local/bin/make. To avoid confusion with the -SCO make program, you may want to rename GNU make to gmake. - -As of UnixWare 7.1.3 and above, the GNU Make program is is the OSTK portion -of the UDK CD, and is in /usr/gnu/bin/gmake. - - -*************************************************************************** -*) Readline - -If you install the readline library, then psql (the PostgreSQL command line -SQL interpreter) remembers each command you type, and allows you to use -arrow keys to recall and edit previous commands. This is very helpful, and -is strongly recommended. The readline library is on the Skunkware CD. - -The readline library is not included on the UnixWare 7.1 Skunkware CD. If -you have the UnixWare 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 Skunkware CDs, you can install it from -there. Otherwise, try ftp.sco.com/skunkware. - -By default, readline installs into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. -However, the PostgreSQL configure program will not find it there without -help.

By default, UnixWare does not look there for -man pages. To be able to read them you need to modify the MANPATH -variable in /etc/default/man. I use: - - MANPATH=/usr/lib/scohelp/%L/man:/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:scohelp:/usr/local/man:/usr/local/pgsql/man - -On OpenServer, some extra research needs to be invested to make the -man pages usable, because the man system is a bit different from other -platforms. Currently, PostgreSQL will not install them at all. - - -*************************************************************************** -*) C99 Issues with the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement - -For compilers earlier than the one released with OpenUNIX 8.0.0(UnixWare -7.1.2), Including the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement, you may need to specify -Xb - in CFLAGS or the CC environment variable. The indication of this is an -error in compiling tuplesort.c referencing inline functions. - -Apparently there was a change in the 7.1.2(8.0.0) compiler and beyond. - - -*************************************************************************** -*) --enable-thread-safety and UnixWare - -If you use the --enable-thread-safety configure flag, you *MUST* use -Kpthread -on ALL libpq using programs. - -libpq uses pthread_* calls, which are only available with the --Kpthread/-Kthread flag. - -*************************************************************************** -*) float4/float8 regression failures on NaN and inf I/O. - -You will see regression failures for the float4 and float8 regression -tests on the NaN and inf I/O functions. This is due to a bug in SCO's strtod -library function on BOTH UnixWare and OpenServer. It's slated to be fixed -in the first maintenance / update for UnixWare 7.1.4, and probably the -next MP/UP for OpenServer 5.0.7 (I'm not sure on the OSR side as of the time -I'm writing this (2004-05-14). - -You might also see Join test failures due to ordering differences, and these -are ok. - - -- cgit v1.2.3
