Re: 7.4.11 HP-UX ia64 build error

I'm having trouble building 32-bit pgsql 7.4.11 on the latest
release of HP-UX 11.23 on ia64, and need a little help.

Here's my compiler:
cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.06.05 [Jul 25 2005]

Here's my error:

cc -L../../src/port -Wl,+b
-Wl,/opt/pgsql/installs/postgresql-7.4.11-32bit-aCC/lib -Wl,-z
-Wl,-E access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o

-lc -lgen -ldld -lnsl -ldl -lm -lpgport -o postgres
ld: Unsatisfied symbol "tas" in file access/SUBSYS.o
1 errors.
gmake[2]: *** [postgres] Error 1

My 32-bit pgsql 8.1.2 build works on this platform using HP's
ansi C compiler.

Could anyone knowledgeable advise on a patch to make 7.4.11 build
here?

Thanks,
Ed

We support that combination in PG 8.0 and later. If you really want
7.4 on that platform, you can build it with gcc, or see about
back-porting the ia64/non-gcc fixes that went into 8.0, which would
include at least these:

2004-10-08 00:22 tgl

* src/Makefile.shlib: Tweak HPUX shared-library build flags, per
Shinji Teragaito.

2004-09-02 19:06 tgl

* src/: Makefile.shlib, makefiles/Makefile.hpux: Fix shared library
linking operations to work properly on all (or at least more)
combinations of HP-UX hardware, compiler, and linker. Shinji
Teragaito and Tom Lane.

2004-09-02 17:03 tgl

* src/include/port/hpux.h: Apparently HPUX runs the IA64 in
big-endian mode.

2004-09-02 13:12 tgl

* src/backend/utils/adt/float.c: Cope with recent HPUX versions
providing isfinite() instead of finite().

2004-09-02 13:10 tgl

* src/include/storage/s_lock.h: Add s_lock support for HPUX on
IA64, per Shinji Teragaito.

There are a lot of other build-process changes in 8.0, which might or
might not be relevant.

Thanks, I'll try more with those patches.

Gcc has failed for both 7.4.11 and 8.1.2 on this platform for
32-bit and 64-bit lp64 builds. It does not, however, fail with
an earlier release of 11.23. The gcc problem is described here:
