I am trying to compile postgres on solaris 7. After running the configure
script and then the make I get the following error...

It seems that gcc is generating code that the assembler doesn't like.
Does this gcc install work for compiling other programs? I'd assume
so since you got through the 'configure' stage, but...

Re: Help Building PostgreSQL on Solaris

I just compiled a version on Solaris 2.6. I used the Sun
compilers (not gcc). No errors (or nothing I remember).
The version I used is the one I got off of the RedHat 7.2 CD.
Not sure what version it is, but it compiles. Does it help :-)

Re: Help Building PostgreSQL on Solaris

The problem seems to be that GCC is using the sun assembler
(/usr/ccs/bin/as). Is the GNU assembler installed?

Re: Help Building PostgreSQL on Solaris

Hi all,

Have you checked the Solaris specific installation guide for PostgreSQL?

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/installguides.php#solaris

I know it works with gcc 2.95.3, but I haven't downloaded the Sun Forte
nor Sun Workshop compilers and tried with them. If you're using gcc,
this guide is known to work.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
