make error Mac OS X (ar: illegal option -- s)

[Joel Rodrigues]

Hi, I get the following error when I run make on Mac OS X v 10.1.5 Any
ideas ?
----------------------------------------------------------
ar: illegal option -- s
usage: ar -d [-TLv] archive file ...
ar -m [-TLv] archive file ...

I *think* it means Mac OS X reuiqre ranlib instead of ar.

Try setting AROPT = cr (not crs) in Makefile.darwin.

Thanks Tom. That got rid of the 'ar' error, but here's the new one that
subsequently occurs :

-----------------------------
/var/tmp/ccECcaaa.s:2139:Parameter error: r0 not allowed for parameter 2
(code as 0 not r0)
make[4]: *** [xlog.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [transam-recursive] Error 2
make[2]: *** [access-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
-----------------------------

I found this, which may be relevant:

http://www.simdtech.org/apps/group_p.../msg00663.html

I don't have much of a clue with regard to C programming.

Cheers,
Joel

Hi,

In light of no responses to the make error question -

Has anyone succeeded in installing PostgreSQL 7.4 on Mac OS X
(10.1/10.2/10.3) ?

Until now PostgreSQL was always just a ./configure, make, make install
away.

On 10.3, yes. Works fine. No problems building. I think I had the
release candidates running on 10.2, but I can't
remember exactly when I upgraded postgres and OS X.

I also have 7.4 running on 10.3 and didn't have any trouble installing
it.

Same here. I built and installed REL7_4_STABLE from CVS without any problem
on 10.3. Maybe the problem starts with a later release?

Thank you Andrew, Mike, & Michael. This may be a Mac OS X v10.1 issue.
The link I mentioned showing a similar error :
http://www.simdtech.org/apps/group_p.../msg00663.html
seems to indicate it is something to do with gcc.

Cheers,
Joel

I believe so. I have tested 7.4 on 10.2.6 and a 10.3 beta release
without problems.

The message
/var/tmp/ccECcaaa.s:2139:Parameter error: r0 not allowed for parameter
2 (code as 0 not r0)

looks like a compiler bug (viz, gcc generating wrong assembly code)
and there's not likely to be much enthusiasm for finding a workaround
on our end, when 10.1 is pretty obsolete anyway.

Oh well, I'll soon be on OS X 10.3 (Panther) , so I'll just leave it
alone for now and get on with development using 7.3.3. I was holding out
for updates to the iBooks, and now that the G4 iBooks are here I'm
aiming for the 12" any time now.

I guess it will also be a little while before PostgreSQL 7.4.x is widely
available at web hosting companies.

Joel
