Re: postgresql-9.5.3 compilation on Solaris SPARC

[Asif Naeem <anaeem.it@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Venkata,

I have't work on solaris sparc system since long but I would like to share my feedback on this, I hope it might be useful.

Hi,

"make" command is generating the following error while compiling postgresql-9.5.3 on Solaris SPARC.

While working with PG, gmake is more appropriate then make that have different implementation on different vendor OS.

 

I tried compiling 9.2 and 9.3, works fine. This is only happening on 9.5.

Humm .. Interesting. atomic_cas_64 seems suppose to part of standard c library. There might be something wrong with the configuration. Probably check "nm libc.so.1 | grep atomic_cas_64".

Any help would be appreciated. Do i need to give any particular CFLAGS ?

Below is the configure command -

./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres/9.5.3 CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc 'CFLAGS=-xO3 -xarch=v9 -xspace -W0,-Lt -W2,-Rcond_elim -Xa -xildoff -xc99=none -xCC' --enable-cassert --without-readline --enable-thread-safety LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/ucblib/sparcv9'

AFAIR I deprived use of -xarch=v9 and used -m64 instead. I wonder why are you using LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/ucblib/sparcv9', when you provide -xarch=v9 compiler should automatically pick the correct libraries and headers I think. There seems lot of cflags used, are you using them because of any recommendation or any issue faced ?.

A few pointers: 

1. What is version of SunStudio ?

2. Try 

cat atomic_cas_64-test.c

#include <sys/atomic.h>
int main()
{
        atomic_cas_64(NULL,NULL,NULL);
}

 

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -m64 atomic_cas_64-test.c -o atomic_cas_64-test

try ldd to check which library it is resolving atomic_cas_64 symbol i.e.

ldd atomic_cas_64-test

I tried adding an option  CFLAGS_SSE42='-msse4.2'. No luck.
