Has anyone tried to compile postgres with Visual Age compiler on
OpenPower5 (IBM-ese for linux only PowerPC based server) either 32 or 64
bit ?

We got it to build fine on both Suse and RHAS, but have had no luck with
VAC.


I have not researched any deeper,but currently it fails with

..[hannu@power postgresql-8.0.3]$
CC=/opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/bin/xlc ./configure
...A..
checking for int timezone... yes
checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not
determine argument types



Our "supported platforms" page does not show compiler, perhaps it should
be there as a separate column, not as remark for just some platforms.

That is we were able to compile it using GCC, but not VAC

So look at config.log and see what's going on.

the following is repeated several times:

------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--
configure:11574: /opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/bin/xlc -c -O -D_GNU_SOURCE conftest.c >&5

configure: failed program was:

#endif

{

;
return 0;
}
------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--

and then end looks like this

it needs this:

extern int accept (int __fd, __SOCKADDR_ARG __addr,
socklen_t *__restrict __addr_len);

how does one add yet another set of arguments for accept() to
configure ?

One patches the file config/ac_func_accept_argtypes.m4. Presumably, you
need to add another choice to the loop for ac_cv_func_accept_arg2.
