1. compiling postgres with Visual Age compiler on OpenPower5 / Linux

   Hannu Krosing <hannu@skype.net> — 2005-05-29T14:19:59Z

   Has anyone tried to compile postgres with Visual Age compiler on
   OpenPower5 (IBM-ese for linux only PowerPC based server) either 32 or 64
   bit ?
   
   We got it to build fine on both Suse and RHAS, but have had no luck with
   VAC.
   
   
   I have not researched any deeper,but  currently it fails with
   
   .[hannu@power postgresql-8.0.3]$
   CC=/opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/bin/xlc ./configure
   ..A..
   checking for int timezone... yes
   checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not
   determine argument types
   
   
   
   Our "supported platforms" page does not show compiler, perhaps it should
   be there as a separate column, not as remark for just some platforms.

   That is we were able to compile it using GCC, but not VAC

   So look at config.log and see what's going on.

   the following is repeated several times:
   
   ------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--
   configure:11574: /opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/bin/xlc -c -O -D_GNU_SOURCE  conftest.c >&5
   "configure", line 11556.21: 1506-166 (S) Definition of function PASCAL
   requires parentheses.
   "configure", line 11556.28: 1506-276 (S) Syntax error: possible missing
   '{'?
   configure:11577: $? = 1
   configure: failed program was:
   #line 11549 "configure"
   #include "confdefs.h"
   #ifdef HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #endif
   #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H
   #include <sys/socket.h>
   #endif
   extern unsigned int PASCAL accept (unsigned int, void *, unsigned int
   *);
   #ifdef F77_DUMMY_MAIN
   #  ifdef __cplusplus
        extern "C"
   #  endif
      int F77_DUMMY_MAIN() { return 1; }
   #endif
   int
   main ()
   {
   
     ;
     return 0;
   }
   ------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--
   
   and then end looks like this
   
   ------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--
   #define HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_STORAGE_SS_FAMILY 1
   #define HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO 1

   #define HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE
   
   configure: exit 1
   ------8<--------8<--------8<-------8<--------8<---------8<-------8<---------8<--

   it needs this:
   
   extern int accept (int __fd, __SOCKADDR_ARG __addr,
                      socklen_t *__restrict __addr_len);
   
   how does one add yet another set of arguments for accept() to
   configure ?

   One patches the file config/ac_func_accept_argtypes.m4.  Presumably, you 
   need to add another choice to the loop for ac_cv_func_accept_arg2.
