Thread: build errors on MacOSX

build errors on MacOSX

From

Date:
My build of postgresql-8.1.0 is failing on MacOSX.  Following the
INSTALL file, I passed configure flags for bonjour (what's that?) and
python support.  i.e.:

./configure --with-bonjour --with-python

My invocation of make, launched from the postgres account,  returns
the following errors:

gcc -no-cpp-precomp -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -
Winline -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -dynamiclib -

OSX v10.4.2
PostgreSQL v8.1.0

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Scott

We've seen this before.  IIRC, it means you're using outdated Xcode
tools; you need to update to Xcode 2.0 or later (2.1 is current I
believe).  Try searching the list archives for that error message
if you want more details.

Voila!  Xcode v2.1 worked.

Thanks!
