The build should also work fine on Sun Studio 11.
We assume you have already unpacked the source code in a user directory and have changed to that directory in your shell.
h2. Environment variables.
We assume the following environment variables:
{noformat}
PGVER=8.3pgdg
ROOT=<your install root>
CFLAGS=<platform dependent compiler flags>
{noformat}
The {{PGVER}} can actually be anything you want; it is just used as part of the full installation path. If you do the install as a regular user, the install root of course has to be writeable by that user. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created.
"{{pgdg}}" is short for _PostgreSQL Global Development Group_ and is used here as an example. We do recommend you call it something other than just "8.3", to distinguish it from the "8.3" that is (or will soon be) included with Solaris.
The CFLAGS are on Sparc:
{noformat}
"-xO3 -xarch=v8 -xspace -W0,-Lt -Xa -xildoff -W2,-xwrap_int -xCC"
{noformat}
On x86/64:
{noformat}
"-xO3 -xarch=386 -xchip=pentium -xspace -Xa -xildoff -xCC"
{noformat}
h2. PATH
You need to append {{:/usr/sbin}} to your {{PATH}} variable, so that {{dtrace}} can be found by {{configure}}. So the minimum path you need is {{/usr/bin:/usr/sbin}}.
h2. Running configure
Run this configure from the main source directory :
{noformat}
./configure CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc \
"CFLAGS=$CFLAGS" \
"LD_OPTIONS=-R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -M /usr/lib/ld/map.noexstk" \
MAKE=/usr/bin/gmake \
--prefix=/postgres/$PGVER \
--exec-prefix=/postgres/$PGVER \
--bindir=/postgres/$PGVER/bin \
--libexecdir=/postgres/$PGVER/bin \
--sbindir=/postgres/$PGVER/bin \
--datadir=/postgres/$PGVER/share \
--sysconfdir=/postgres/$PGVER/etc \
--mandir=/postgres/$PGVER/man \
--libdir=/postgres/$PGVER/lib \
--includedir=/postgres/$PGVER/include \
--sharedstatedir=/var/postgres/$PGVER \
--localstatedir=/var/postgres/$PGVER \
--enable-nls \
--with-docdir=/postgres/$PGVER/doc \
--with-system-tzdata=/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo \
--with-tcl -with-perl --with-python \
--with-pam --with-openssl --with-krb5 \
--without-readline \
--with-libxml --with-libxslt \
--enable-thread-safety \
--enable-dtrace \
--with-includes=/usr/include:/usr/sfw/include:/usr/include/kerberosv5 \
--with-tclconfig=/usr/lib \
--with-libs=/usr/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
{noformat}
Note that all this is ONE command line.
You may of course replace the "{{/postgres/$PGVER}}" part of the paths if you want a completely different install path.
h2. Make
This will do the basic make of the product:
{noformat}
gmake DTRACE_BITS=32 'LD_OPTIONS=-R$$ORIGIN/../lib:/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib \
-M /usr/lib/ld/map.noexstk' MAKE=/usr/bin/gmake all
{noformat}
Replace 32 with 64 if building on Sparc.
*NB* make sure to use single quotes ' around the {{LD_OPTIONS}} argument, double qoutes " will not give the correct result. The {{$ORIGIN}} is added here to ensure that the user does not have to set {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} to run commands like {{psql}} which need shared libaries from this installation.
h2. Install
To install into the user-defined install path (as set by {{ROOT}} above), the command is
{noformat}
gmake DESTDIR=$ROOT MAKE=/usr/bin/gmake install
{noformat}
You can also do install "directly" without the preceding gmake all, you will then have to combine all the arguments from the two gmake commands.
h2. Install as {{root}}
