-PostgreSQL 7.0 can be built on SCO UnixWare 7 and SCO OpenServer 5.
+PostgreSQL 7.1 can be built on SCO UnixWare 7 and SCO OpenServer 5.
On OpenServer, you can use either the OpenServer Development Kit or
the Universal Development Kit.
Topics:
*) Skunkware
*) GNU Make
-*) C++ and libpq++
*) Readline
*) Using the UDK on OpenServer
*) Compiling PostgreSQL using the UDK
you install the correct version for your operating system, except as noted
below.

***************************************************************************
*) GNU Make
SCO make program, you may want to rename GNU make to gmake.
-***************************************************************************
-*) C++ and libpq++
-
-I have not been able to build libpq++, the PostgreSQL C++ interface, with
-the UnixWare or OpenServer C++ compilers. By default, building PostgreSQL
-also builds the libpq++ interface. When that fails, it causes the entire
-build of PostgreSQL to fail.
-
-This is the problem if you see the following error message:
-
-"pgenv.cc", line 47: error: no default constructor exists for class "string"
-
-If you have this problem, you can disable building of libpq++ with the
-following configure option:
-
-configure --without-CXX
-
-
***************************************************************************
*) Readline
configure --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include
-Putting this together with the no-C++ option above yields:
-
-configure --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include --without-CXX
-
***************************************************************************
*) Using the UDK on OpenServer
If you are using the new Universal Development Kit (UDK) compiler on
-OpenServer, you need to use different arguments to the configure program.
-
-First, you need to specify the "unixware" template instead of the default.
-
-Second, you need to specify the locations of the UDK libraries.
+OpenServer, you need to specify the locations of the UDK libraries:
-Putting these together:
+configure --with-libs=/udk/usr/lib --with-includes=/udk/usr/include
-configure --with-template=unixware --with-libs=/udk/usr/lib --with-includes=/udk/usr/include
+Putting these together with the readline options from above:
-Putting these together with the no-C++ and readline options from above:
+./configure --with-libs="/udk/usr/lib /usr/local/lib" --with-includes="/udk/usr/include /usr/local/include"
-./configure --with-template=unixware --with-libs="/udk/usr/lib /usr/local/lib" --with-includes="/udk/usr/include /usr/local/include" --without-CXX

The program, backend/utils/adt/int8.c, tickles a compiler bug with in the
following versions (and probably others as well) of the C compiler:
PG_RETURN_INT64(result);

-The bind function in UnixWare 7.1+ has a problem when used with the AF_UNIX
-family. The following patch provides a work-around for the problem (thanks
-go to Oliver PRENANT <ohp@pyrenet.fre> for this patch).
+This compiler bug seems to be fixed at least in

I have not tried using the PostgreSQL man pages on OpenServer. Volunteers??
