It runs on OS/2 Warp 4 too (Postgres V8 RC3).

That is pretty hard to believe, since the code we distribute contains
neither shared library support nor spinlock support nor any of the
other port specific tweaks for OS/2. And someone else is currently
working on porting to OS/2. What's up with that?

Someone posted an 8.0rc4 binary and it is mentioned in the current FAQ,
so yea, I think it works.

I assume the source is included.

Posting a binary doesn't mean that they didn't have to hack the source.

As of 8.0 the spinlock support should be driven by CPU type not OS type,
so as long as you build using a compiler that defines standard CPU
symbols it should work. In particular I'd expect a gcc build on OS/2 to
not have any issues about spinlocks.

Shared libraries are another story --- there is no way we'd build shared
libraries successfully without a Makefile.os2 and some additions to
Makefile.shlib. Given the importance of plpgsql I don't think we could
consider a build with --disable-shared to be a "supported platform".

I assume OS/2 is like our Novell port in that it doesn't compile using

There may be a Novell port out there, but I don't take any
responsibility for it ;-)

Right, I assume the same for OS/2. It is mentioned in the FAQ and has
a URL. That's as far as we can go until the OS/2 port person submits
information on what changes he had to make to get it to work and we
incorporate his changes in our code.

TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

Hi

That would be me doing the OS/2 port.

I was waiting until the GA 8.0 release before I submitted the patches for
the makefiles and code for the os/2 port.

It does support shared libraries, and the spinlock stuff and signals are
provided by the GCC 3.3.5 LIBC.

I have one major issue with character code conversion to resolve in order
to pass the regression tests, as well as a compiler bug that messes up the
printf'ing of long long variables.
