Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious from the error you were running into in
your last message that you'll need to do your own PostgreSQL build
here first, then add pl/java on top of that. Binary packages aren't
necessarily good at giving you everything needed to build your
extensions, and even if it did build I'd be suspicious of it until it
passed testing.
You can see more about how the OpenSolaris packages are built at
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfw/usr/src/cmd/postgres/ ;
Makefile.sfw in particular might have clues as to what's going wrong
here. There are separate code paths in several places there for 32
vs. 64 bit builds, and you seem to have run into a divergence between
the two.
As for mailing lists, you can try
http://lists.pgfoundry.org/pipermail/pljava-dev/ for things specific
to building it.
having not gone down the path of building my own language extensions
before, how portable are they between postgres builds? What I build
needs to eventually be installable on a 8.4-community 64bit install as
they want to add pl/java support to a running production database. I
can specify they use the same JDK etc.
Last night, I started trying to piece together the environment for
./configure for postgres based on what pg_config gives me, but it
aborted pretty early with missing stuffs... by then it was 1am and I
was fried so I am taking a fresh look this morning... k, I'm already
farther along and moving forward... (had to add /usr/sbin to the path to
find dtrace, now I'm sorting out readline vs libedit...)... and stopped
on a 'cannot compute size(off_t)' but I'm sure I'll figure that out...
