PostgreSQL 8.1 Beta 4
In order to address some issues found with the Windows port, as well as
GCC4, we have released a Beta 4 of the upcoming 8.1 Release.
This Beta is meant to be a quick beta, baring any problems, with our first
Release Candidate happening late this same week.
With this beta, Tom has also put out the call for port reports, to round
out our 'Supported Platforms' list:
"If you don't see your favorite platform already listed as tested for 8.1
at http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/supported-platforms.html
then please give it a try and send in your results."
We heavily encourage any, and all, to test this Beta out, to make sure we
have weeded out as many bugs before release as possible ...

Hello.
I've joined this mailing list to report you the success I am having
compiling postgresql-8.1 beta4 on DragonFly BSD, which is not supported.
Because the distribution is not known to postgresql-8.1 beta4, I had to
use ./configure --with-template=freebsd, since DragonFly is (for now)
still very similar to FreeBSD (version 4 and 5). After that it could be
compiled using gmake and installed according to the instructions in
INSTALL file.
Result:
test=# select version();
version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.1beta4 on i386-unknown-dragonfly1.3.7, compiled by GCC
gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20050809 (prerelease) [DragonFly] (propolice, visibility)
(1 row)
test=#
It would be very nice if the pgsql-8.1 knows about DragonFly so users of
it wouldn't have to go through trouble installing it.
Maybe it is still time to add the distribution DragonFly to the
supported-platforms list before we get to RC1. If I can help, please,
tell me how.
Thank you.
Regards,
Tomas

Marc,
I just finished a build with the 8.1beta4 for Solaris 8 (SPARC) with:
OpenSSL 0.9.8
Heimdal 0.7
tcl/tk-8.4.8
perl-5.8.4
using gcc-3.4.3 and the following compile command:
gcc -O3 -DOPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT -fno-sched-interblock
All tests passed successfully.

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
Marc,
I just finished a build with the 8.1beta4 for IRIX 6.5 but without
the nuances. We do not really use SGI other than in special circumstances
but the regression test passed all tests:
configure --without-readline
using IRIX cc.
