    Oh, that's good to know. I haven't ventured into what's going on in CVS
yet, so this will be a good excuse.

Thanks.

Not at the moment anyway.  Bruce and some other people did some work
last month towards supporting relocatable installs --- David, would you
like to experiment with CVS tip and see if it works for you?

Or you can download a recent snapshot of CVS from our ftp servers.

  3. installation: cc and gcc how to?

    Nilabhra Banerjee <nil_ban@yahoo.co.uk> — 2004-07-17T09:02:39Z

    Hello Everybody,

I am going to load postgresql 7.4 in 
Irix 6.5.20, MIPS processor

Please help me out with gcc/cc idea

As far as I understood, I have to use gmake (as I have
done in all other OS) and native cc in place of gcc.

As par the installation guide the command should be
something like
./configure CC={cc compiler path} CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe'

But I cant understand the what does the CFLAG
parameter mean. Could u please throw some light on
that at least it would be helpful if u specify the
exact configure command line u have used for Irix
6.5.20 native c compiler.

Thank you,

Regards
Nil Banerjee

The installation instructions say that you *can* override the default 
compiler flags with the CFLAGS variable, not that you have to.

./configure CC=cc
make
make install

    Thanks a lot.. This much is enough for me....If I get
some time afterwards I go thru it again.... But I am
still curious to know about the CFlags variable..what
are the other values it can take.

A big THANKS

Depends on your system.  Try "man cc".

The pgsql tarball includes an INSTALL document.  The INSTALL file,
in turn, explains what the CFLAGS variable does.  What's assigned
to CFLAGS is dependent on a number of factors, such as operating
system and version, compiler and version, hardware, etc., etc.

    Dear Nil,
	Yes, the important thing is to use the MIPS compilers, not
gcc. You have your choice of compiler environments -- I suggest using
the 64-bit compilation model (CC="cc -64") -- you can use much bigger
buffer caches that way if you have sufficient RAM. --Bob
