Re: uuid contrib don't compile in OpenSolaris

Hi all,

I have some issues to compile uuid contrib of 8.4 version.

Touching something i see that the gmake don't find uuid.h.
(pfexec gmake -d)
Touching more, i add uuid.h into the uuid directory and i had a
error message: missing separator.

So i google a little and i find something:
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.make-spaces

I read the source and it explain that some issues were fixed into
Debian, but other
platforms didn't tested yet. If this is really, we are using 8.4
final, and it don't
sounds consistent at all.

BTW, somebody patched this ? If not, i will continue my workaround on this and
try to propose something to fix it.

Did you use gmake the second time? What was the exact make and compiler
error message?

Every time I execute the gmake, the error is the same (uuid.h
not found).

WHen i copy uuid.h in the current dir of uuid contrib, the
error changes to missing separator. As I say, looking in
the web i found that maybe is a bad character (a hidden tab
or something like this).

This occurs only in opensolaris 200906 (i didn't test on previous
versions).

Hi,

problem is that PostgreSQL uses ossp UUID which is not integrated in
OpenSolaris. Solaris has own uuid implementation which seems to me
similar but not same. Try man uuid_generate or less /usr/uuid/uuid.h

It should be easy to port it but it needs a time :(.

That's really interesting. I'll try this.

I found that the same problem cames from 8.3.4
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-10/msg01234.php

But i found too, that seems to be a bug in x86 platforms for uuid_generator.

I tryed to run uuidgen, but throws a lib.so.1 absence. Seems that
the problem comes more dephtly.
