[postgis-users] s390x postgis build - SOLVED!

[Derek Jones]

Hi all,

Well, I solved the problem! (Been 2 days on this already... :-/ - rebuilding the gcc was 5 hours alone)

Looks like nobody else has recently built postgres/gis on the s390x platform - or - at least - has not made public what they also found perhaps?

There needs to be a case added to Makefile.linux for postgresql *that's postgres, not postgis* for s390x in addtion to SPARC that sets CFLAGS_SL to  -fPIC because otherwise it sets to -fpic and then that gets added in silently to the shared lib builds.

You can't mix and match -fpic and -fPIC.

Soooo, now it's built!

That was a *long* haul to find. Can whoever maintains postgres make that change please for future releases?

Kind regards

Derek Jones.
