Well, it's been done. Searching the PG archives for prior discussions I find http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-07/msg00884.php which describes success with multiple -arch flags in CFLAGS plus hand creation of relevant .h files. The first few steps in the older recipe here http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-02/msg00200.php show a reasonably plausible way to mechanically generate the required .h files, although I wonder whether it's right in detail --- over here http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-07/msg00898.php I had found out that you also need --host if you want to fool configure into generating .h files for a different architecture. On the whole I'd still recommend building the reference .h files on the actual target arch rather than trusting cross-compile to create them correctly. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
