Thread: packaging for AIX - compliments!!

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!

See bug #7771 for packaging issue preventing build for 8.3.22 and 8.4.15.
Will start with the version 9.X.y now

try using gtar, from the IBM Linux toolkit.  I'm pretty sure 8.3 built
fine for me on AIX, but recently I've only been building 8.4, and 9.0,9.1
