Thread: Alpha FreeBSD
Greetings ! I have a question ? I tried to get postgresql-6.5.3 to compile on my alpha (running FreeBSD 4.0 ) and it would not compile. Then I tried to get 6.5.2 and that wont work. Question is: Is thier a postgres that works on Alpha w/FreeBSD 4.0 ? even an old version is cool. Thank you nathan

I'm sure people are interested in getting this working, but they just don't have devel boxes to do so. -Alfred

Ok as far as the 6.5.3 from the FreeBSD ports dir, just says "alpha port is broken " and thats it (It tests to see if the box is alpha ) As far as the 6.5.2 when running the ./configure script tests to see if the compiler 'gcc' can do -m486 and another intel specific option then it will error saying "compiler failed, cannot create executable". Hope that helps.... once again sorry (It was late and I was tired... ) thank you nathan
