Goal

Current Builds
If you manage to build the Ingres source on an platform not mentioned below, please add your achievement to the table. Similarly if you're having trouble with a particular platform, add that too. There may well be someone else feeling your pain!

Problems, Gotchas, Solutions and Workarounds
Installing Jam
The jam source can be found at: ftp://ftp.perforce.com/pub/jam/jam-2.5.tar To install, simply copy the tar file to your home directory, extract the files from the tar and execute the 'make' command. This will create ~/jam-2.5/bin.linux/jam.
You then need root privilege to install the new jam command. Eg. (as root) copy ~/jam-2.5/bin.linux/jam to /usr/bin/jam
Building Pax
x86_64
The Pax build may fail stating 'LINUX is not supported.' To correct this simply edit the Jamfile and replace the LINUXX86 with LINUX.
32bit and 64bit libraries for Xercesc
To build both the 32-bit and 64-bit libraries for Xerces-C you need to do the following:
- obtain and unpack the source for Xerces-C 2.7 (here)
- set XERCESCROOT to the directory you unpacked the source to e.g.
export XERCESCROOT=/home/ingres/xerces-c-src_2_7_0
- configure and build the 32-bit libraries first
cd $XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc ./runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ -minmem -nsocket -tnative -rpthread -b32 -l"-m32" -z"-m32" make
- copy the libraries to an lp32 directory
mkdir $XERCESCROOT/lib/lp32 cp -p $XERCESCROOT/lib/lib* $XERCESCROOT/lib/lp32
- clean the build environment. If you skip this step it will simply re-link the 32-bit objects.
make clean
- configure and build the 64-bit version
./runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ -minmem -nsocket -tnative -rpthread -b64 make
The other, perhaps simpler, way to create the 32bit library is to make the $XERCESCROOT/lib/lp32 subdirectory and then to install into it a compiled library set. The compiled library set can be found here The archive for 32-bit binaries is not labelled as 32-bit it is labelled for Red Hat (and the 64-bit one is labelled for Suse).
Simply download the tar file, unpack it and copy its lib area into $XERCESCROOT/lib/lp32.
At time of writing the above links are correct for Xerces-C version 2.7, which is the current version needed to build Ingres. If you need a different version, please check http://xml.apache.org/xercesc.
Missing asm/bitops.h
x86_64
If /usr/include/asm/bitops.h and its dependant include files are not present then you can copy them from an older Linux release and install them. You will need root privilege for this. The dependant files are: asm/asm-x86_64/bitops.h, asm-i386/bitops.h, linux/config.h
http://bugs.ingres.com/ticket/109#
Fixed in revision 22
gcc_s
If you receive errors like ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
Then download the patch: gcc_s.patch
Apply patch as follows:
- cd $ING_SRC/tools/port/shell_unix
- chmod 644 shlibinfo.sh
- cat <path to file>/gcc_s.patch | patch
The patch command should respond with: Hunk #1 succeeded at 617 (offset -9 lines).
