I would like to compliment all of you on how clean the packaging for AIX is going for me. (I still have to test that they actually work though :))
Using IBM compiler and this configure command + make - I am getting through the make process. I have to check whether your make also uses the GNU convention for performing an install in DESTDIR - as I use that to create installable packages in AIX installp format. CFLAGS="-O2 -qcpluscmt" ./configure \ --prefix=/opt \ --sysconfdir=/var/postgresql/etc \ --sharedstatedir=/var/postgresql/com \ --localstatedir=/var/postgresql \ --mandir=/usr/share/man --without-readline Yesterday and today - with no noteable issues I have packaged from: *postgresql-7.4.30.tar.bz2 postgresql-8.0.26.tar.bz2 postgresql-8.1.23.tar.bz2 postgresql-8.2.23.tar.bz2* (in progress) Note: there are lots of warning messages such as: "pg_some_file.c", line 402.33: 1506-068 (W) Operation between types "struct {...}*" and "struct gzFile_s*" is not allowed. *postgresql-8.3.22.tar.bz2* (in progress) Unpacking the archive has an "error". There are couple references to a file @LongLink (contents) $ cat @Long* postgresql-8.3.22/src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs/utf8_and_euc_jis_2004/utf8_and_euc_jis_2004.c Which should not be in the archive - I think. I shall continue with the rest to see how far they come - and update this thread with those results. Again, thanks for the clean builds - and Happy Holidays!
