I got that error building on a unix platform that was missing some
library or another, the actual error had *nothing* to do with off_t,
rather, the off_t test module failed on this library load.
in fact it may have been readline.
here's what *I* used to compile on solaris x86 with readline...
first, I built this in my old account, in $HOME/src I untarred zlib
1.2.5, readline 6.1, and postgres 8.4.5
i compiled zlib and readline first, telling it to put the target in
$HOME as I only used the static link libraries to reduce dependencies
for my compiled postgres... I specifically built readline and zlib as
static (.a) libraries only, not as shared (.so) libraries.
then, to compile postgres, I used this ./configure..
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc CFLAGS="-xarch=amd64" ./configure
--prefix=/opt/pgsql-84 --with-libs=$HOME/lib \
--with-includes=$HOME/include
and then ran gmake && gmake check && su "gmake install"
gmake is in /usr/sfw/bin ... I also had /usr/ccs/bin in my path but I'm
not sure this is important or not (ld is in there)
note, I'm using Sun Studio 11 (Sun cc 5.8) here. Sun-err-Oracle Studio
12 works just fine, too.
