I'm trying to compile postgres 8.1.2 on OS X 10.2.8. Unfortunately I'm not much of a compile-your-own guy, and I've hit a compile error that's beyond my improvisation abilities, and gets no google hits either. I realize this also an OS X expert thing: I'm also seeking help on one of the apple.com lists as well. I installed the December 2002 xcode package of developer stuff from apple, which seemed to be the last one that was for OS X 10.2. Initially I only installed the parts called BSDSDK and Developer Tools Software. The postgres configure utility ran through fine. I ran make. Several minutes into it, I got a missing header file for osx installed version constants. So I then installed the xcode part called Mac OS X SDK. I ran make again. Now, further in, I get the following output and error (note the "make -C file SUBSYS.o" is output, not my initial command which was just "make" in the directory at the top of the postgres source). make -C file SUBSYS.o gcc -no-cpp-precomp -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -fno-strict-aliasing -I../../../../src/include -I/sw/include -c -o fd.o fd.c fd.c: In function `pg_fsync_writethrough': fd.c:271: `F_FULLFSYNC' undeclared (first use in this function) fd.c:271: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once fd.c:271: for each function it appears in.) make[4]: *** [fd.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [file-recursive] Error 2 make[2]: *** [storage-recursive] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Searching, I couldn't find anything useful on the F_FULLFSYNC constant, and no reports on a similar failure. Any ideas? (Help!) Thanks, Neil __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
