First, we still do not have any test with 8.0 on the following platforms:

HP-UX
IRIX
Tru64 UNIX
SCO OpenServer

Second, we have regressions (vs. 7.4) on the following platforms:

Linux Alpha (buildfarm hare)
Linux ARM (see http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql...1/msg00094.php)

Other open targets can be found here:

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs...platforms.html

but those were the most important ones.

All the 96 tests are passed on RC3. I can rerun the tests with additional
configure flags if required..But I can not install anything new on HP-UX
machine.

$ ./configure --without-readline --without-zlib;gmake;gmake check
$ uname -a
HP-UX machine B.11.00 A 9000/785 2005950738 two-user license

FWIW, I also ran on my Linux machine. It passes there as well..

$ ./configure;make;make check
$ uname -a
Linux machine 2.6.7 #1 Wed Jun 16 16:23:03 PDT 2004 i686 unknown unknown
GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 10.0.0

This was apparently an old Alpha chip, and Jim was going to try on a
more modern machine not known to have FP problems. So take this result
with many grains of salt.

> Tru64 UNIX
I tried RC3 on Tru64 box with cc(Compaq C V6.1-011). There are some errors
to build and install. All tests (make installcheck) are passed.

bash-2.05b$ uname -a
OSF1 kiss.my.domain V5.0 910 alpha
bash-2.05b$ make installcheck
...
======================
All 96 tests passed.
======================

Error Reports:
(Sorry for my poor English.)
1) configure?
I got below error when simply configure and make:
/usr/bin/ld -shared -expect_unresolved '*' fe-auth.o fe-connect.o fe-exec.o fe-misc.o fe-print.o fe-lobj.o fe-protocol2.o fe-protocol3.o pqexpbuffer.o pqsignal.o fe-secure.o md5.o ip.o wchar.o encnames.o noblock.o pgstrcasecmp.o thread.o getaddrinfo.o -L../../../src/port -lresolv -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/pgsql/lib -o libpq.so.3.2
/usr/bin/ld:
Invalid flag usage: Wl,-rpath, -Wx,-option must appear after -_SYSTYPE_SVR4
/usr/bin/ld: Usage: /usr/bin/ld [options] file [...]
make[3]: *** [libpq.so.3.2] Error 1

In Makefile.osf, rpath are defined as 'rpath = -Wl,-rpath -Wl,$(rpathdir)'. But,
Makefile.global were set LD to /usr/bin/ld by configure script:
bash-2.05b$ grep "LD " Makefile.global
LD = /usr/bin/ld

So, I need a patch to build:
bash-2.05b$ diff Makefile.osf.DIST Makefile.osf
4c4
< rpath = -Wl,-rpath -Wl,$(rpathdir)
---
> rpath = -rpath $(rpathdir)

(Because LDREL=-r is fixed in Makefile.global.in and cc command can not pass "-r"
flag to linker, I did not set LD environment vriable to "/usr/bin/cc".)

I believe that it will be no problem if I had used gcc.

2) mkdir?
Due to odd behavior of 'mkdir -p' command, I got below error when 'make install':
mkdir -p -- /usr/local/pgsql/bin /usr/local/pgsql/share
mkdir: cannot create /usr/local/pgsql/share.
/usr/local/pgsql/share: File exists
make[2]: *** [installdirs] Error 2

So, i needed patches below:
bash-2.05b$ diff include/Makefile.DIST include/Makefile
21c21
< nodes optimizer parser port regex rewrite storage tcop utils \
---
> nodes optimizer parser regex rewrite storage tcop utils \
(port directory were specified twice.)

bash-2.05b$ diff backend/Makefile.DIST backend/Makefile
184c184
< $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)
---
> $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)


(The mkdir command(of OS standard) fail if there are no-existing directory in middle
of paths of the argument. For example,
bash-2.05b$ mkdir abc --- success.
bash-2.05b$ mkdir -p abc abc2 --- success. the last 'abc2' don't exist.
bash-2.05b$ mkdir -p abc3 abc abc2 --- failure. the first 'abc3' don't exist
mkdir: cannot create abc.
abc: File exists
bash-2.05b$ mkdir -p abc5 abc5 --- failuer. both of 'abc5' don't exist
mkdir: cannot create abc5.
abc5: File exists
)

OK; this simply reverts a cosmetic change I made awhile ago. Evidently
that wasn't a good idea on all platforms after all :-(

I think you ought to report this as a bug in the local version of mkdir.

I'm not following the point of this change?

I can assure you it works on 10.20 as well ;-)

$ uname -a
HP-UX sss2 B.10.20 C 9000/780 2004473515 32-user license

I have done port testing using both gcc and vendor's cc on HPUX 11.11
(PA-RISC) and 11.23 (Itanium) at HP's testdrive farm. The last time was
a month or two back, so it's possible that something broke since then,
but it seems highly unlikely. It's also been a month or two since I
last tried vendor's cc on 10.20, but I doubt that broke either.

Hello,

This installdirs are worked well. 'make install' succeeds without
modifying Makefiles.
Thank you.

Does anyone object to installing the new mkinstalldirs? I took the latest
version from the automake CVS. The important change was apparently to use
mkdir -p only with GNU mkdir.
