Re: [PORTS] Postgress installation in HP-UX 10.20.

Hi everybody:
I have the following information for you.
I installed Postgress 6.2.1 in the next platform:
Apollo 9000 Serie 800 with PA-RISC running HP-UX 10.20
- The version of PostgreSQL (v6.2.1, 6.1.1, beta 970703, etc.).
v6.2.1
- Your operating system (i.e. RedHat v4.0 Linux v2.0.26).
HP-UX 10.20
- Your hardware (SPARC, i486, etc.).
Precision Arquitecture-RISC (32 o 64 Mz ???)
- Install problems:
I had problems running HP's make so I need to install 'gmake'. By the
way, I couldn't find a program called gmake so I got 'make' instead.
I did ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu. File:/pub/gnu/make-3.76.1.tar.gz

I hadn't any problems to install gnu make.

As to the Postgress installation I had the following problems:
When I ran 'make all', I got a yacc error:
Too many states compiling gram.y. (I got a clue from the yacc compiler:
use Ns option)
Solution: I edited the Makefile.global file. I modified the line with
the YFLAGS variable (line 211), so I added the option Ns with a value of
5000(The default for HP was 1000)
After this change The problem vanished but I found the next problem:The
size of look ahead tables was not big enough. (Default 650) So I
modified to 2500 with the Nl (En -el) option.
At last the line was modified in the following way:
Original line:
YFLAGS= -d
Modified line
YFLAGS= -d -Ns5000 -Nl2500

After this I got the next fatal error:
cc -I../../include -W l,-E -Ae -DNOFIXADE -Dhpux -I.. -I.
include -c scan.c -o scan.o
cc: "scan.c", line 145: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: "&".

The problem was very simple to solve. One comment was erronous written.
The '/' was missing. I just edited the file scan.c and everythig worked
fine.

Oh, I assumed that this was a comment from scan.l, but I'm now guessing
that this was a comment inserted by HP's lex program. Yes?

I ran the regress test and I could find some tests failed principally
due to the floating point precision.

Which is OK.

Good information. Anyone interested in typing this up as a FAQ
(doc/FAQ_HP)?
