Обсуждение: Hacking PostgreSQL to work in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther 7B85)
All,
After toying with a few builds of the up coming OS X 10.3 (Panther)
release, I've written a doc on how to get postgresql to build using
Panther build 7B85 and Xcode build 7B85 (which are rumored to be the
gold master and the builds that will be shipping later this month).
Two things needed to be hacked to get postgresql to build from
darwinports, and I'm assuming the same fixes would apply to a build
from a .tar.gz. Essentially, a header file installed by Apple's Xcode
devel tools needs to be edited, and the template for darwin needs a
line removed. This fix is also known to work with OS X 10.3 build 7B85
and Xcode 7B68. Whilst I'm not in a position to analyse the root cause
of why these hacks are needed, this doc is simply a quick and dirty
guide to hacking it together.
Scenario
========
Fresh install of OS X 10.3 7B85
Fresh install of Xcode 7B85
howrare:~ jwilson$ sudo port install postgresql

Workaround
----------
howrare:~ jwilson$ sudo cp /usr/include/ppc/param.h
/usr/include/ppc/param.h_pgfix
howrare:~ jwilson$ sudo vim /usr/include/ppc/param.h
* Go to line 90 (Type '90gg')
Note this section:
/* bytes to pages */
#define btoc(x) (((unsigned)(x)+(PGOFSET))>>PGSHIFT)
#ifdef __APPLE__
#define btodb(bytes, devBlockSize) \ ((unsigned)(bytes) / devBlockSize)
#define dbtob(db, devBlockSize) \ ((unsigned)(db) * devBlockSize)
#else
#define btodb(bytes) /* calculates (bytes /
DEV_BSIZE) */ \ ((unsigned)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT)
#define dbtob(db) /* calculates (db * DEV_BSIZE)
*/ \ ((unsigned)(db) << DEV_BSHIFT)
#endif
It seems that __APPLE__ is defined somehow (perhaps it should be) when
postgres is compiling. Hence, the btodb macros are expecting two args
and getting only one. The quick and dirty fix is to remove the ifdef
__APPLE__ portion of the code and leave it such that the only macros
defined are the single arg ones.
Hence, delete these lines:
#ifdef __APPLE__
#define btodb(bytes, devBlockSize) \ ((unsigned)(bytes) / devBlockSize)
#define dbtob(db, devBlockSize) \ ((unsigned)(db) * devBlockSize)
#else
And then delete the "#endif" line at the end of that section of code
(Just above the comment block for the next section which starts with
"Map a ``block device block``"
As such, after deleting the lines the code section at line 90 and
beyond should look like this:
/* bytes to pages */
#define btoc(x) (((unsigned)(x)+(PGOFSET))>>PGSHIFT)
#define btodb(bytes) /* calculates (bytes /
DEV_BSIZE) */ \ ((unsigned)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT)
#define dbtob(db) /* calculates (db * DEV_BSIZE)
*/ \ ((unsigned)(db) << DEV_BSHIFT)
Now save the file (:w! to override the read-only) and try the build of
postgresql again. This time it will fail with a precompiler error.

Solution
--------
The gcc in 10.3's Xcode behaves differently (perhaps properly) with the
-traditional-cpp flag. I.e it doesn't allow use of the '##' token not
available in traditional c/c++. The solution was to edit the template
file for darwin in src/template and just removed the 'CC="$CC
-traditional-cpp"' definition all together.
sudo vim
{DarwinPortsDir}/dports/databases/postgresql/work/postgresql-7.3.2/src/
template/darwin
Remove the following line:
CC="$CC -traditional-cpp"
Of course, the
{DarwinPortsDir}/dports/databases/postgresql/work/
.darwinports.postgresql.state file then needs to be edited to cause a
reconfigure of the source with the new template.
sudo vim
{DarwinPortsDir}/dports/databases/postgresql/work/
.darwinports.postgresql.state
Remove the following lines:
target: com.apple.configure
Try the build of postgresql again, DO NOT clean it, just try the
install again.

Best of luck (was re: works for me.)

James, we've spent some time lately with Mac OS X related changes to the code base. Please try this again with a fresh CVS copy of PostgreSQL and let us know if there are any further changes you think we'd need to work properly with Panther.

Is there something special about function current_user?
In v.7.3.4 it only works when I do "select current_user;"
and breaks when called with the empty arg. list:
syncdb=# select current_user(); ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "(" at character 20
This behavior is just the opposite to that of some other functions
that take no arguments (e.g. version, timeofday)

Hi Marko, I've done a checkout from CVS and performed a build under OS X Panther 7B85 with the non-hacked header files. The problem with the param.h header file seems to be fixed, however the build is failing with undefined symbols in libs: make -C ecpglib all gcc -no-cpp-precomp -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -bundle execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o connect.o misc.o -L../../../../src/port -L/opt/local/lib -L../pgtypeslib -lpgtypes -L../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -lm -o libecpg.so.4.0 ld: Undefined symbols: _PQfreemem _PQresultErrorField _PQsetNoticeReceiver _last_path_separator I noticed it's not linking with the "-undefined suppress" flag which I've found it required when building 'bundles' for darwin.

I'll bet you have an old libpq in /opt/local/lib. Why is that getting
included in the link anyway?
regards, tom lane
Nicely spotted, yeah that's what is causing these issue. The reason -L/opt/local/lib is in there is due to it being ./configured with --with-libraries=/opt/local/lib and --with-includes=/opt/local/include. Those configure options are necessary to ensure the configure found the darwinport-installed readline et.al. which are in /opt/local/lib and /opt/local/include Removing the old postgres libs would resolve this build issue, but makes it a bit painful for users upgrading from an existing installation.

After spending a few hours of trying to get Postgresql7.3.4 to build
from source (tar.gz) on a Panther (release, not beta) system, I find
that I am still having the same errors described in the original post
to this thread. It is a clean install as of yesterday, with readline
installed via fink.
# ./configure --with-includes=/sw/include/ --with-libraries=/sw/lib
--with-perl
then:
#make
yields this error at then end:

I have installed the XCode tools that came with Panther and ran
Software update to get everything up to date. Is there another
(better?) way to fix this than altering the header files as James
inidcated in his original post? there is no /opt, so I don't think it
is a lingering library there.

Try 7.4RC1 instead. Apple made some incompatible changes in their
