This information is to build postgresql 9.1.X on a Redhat6 machine. postgresql9.1 will not officially be in a distro until Redhat7 and SLES 12, so for PCM to use it we need to build for the current Redhat6.3 which we will release xCAT/PCM produce. [RHEL6] 1) Need to install rpmbuild from the distro and gcc on your build machine 2) Must have uuid-devel, did not see to be in the Redhat6.3 distro. * Downloaded the packages from http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/centos-rhel-x86_64/uuid-devel-1.6.1-10.el6.x86_64.rpm/download/ * On x86_64, there's already an existed prebuilt rpm package available rpm -ivh uuid-devel-1.6.1-10.el6.x86_64.rpm * On ppc64, need to download the source rpm and rebuild it with the spec provided by xCAT. rpm -ivh uuid-1.6.1-10.el6.src.rpm cd /root/rpmbuild/SPECS backup uuid.spec to uuid.spec.orig cp uuid.spec provided by xCAT in this directory to /root/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -ba /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/uuid.spec rpm -ivh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/ppc64/uuid-devel-1.6.1-10.el6.ppc64.rpm 3) Use the below website to download src rpms for postgresql91. I picked the latest PTF level 9.1.5. http://yum.postgresql.org/srpms/9.1/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/ From here I got postgresql91-9.1.5-1PGDG.rhel6.src.rpm 4) Run rpm -ivh postgresql91-9.1.5-1PGDG.rhel6.src.rpm to install the source rpms on the build machine. 5) When you installed the source rpm, it put the data in /root/rpmbuild cd /root/rpmbuild/SPECS cp postgresql-9.1.spec postgresql-9.1.spec.orig We have modified the spec that Fedora16 used to build postgresql91, so that all the commands and code will go in the normal locations and provide that spec here cp postgresql-9.1.spec provided by xCAT in this directory to /root/rpmbuild/SPECS 6) build the rpms rpmbuild -ba postgresql-9.1.spec 7) Packages required by PCM on RHEL: - postgresql, postgresql-libs, postgresql-server, postgresql-contrib [SLES11] 1) Need to install rpmbuild from the distro and gcc on your build machine, and we need SLES11 SP2 SDK1 iso to install extra build dependencies 2) Must have uuid-devel, we can get it from "server:database:postgresql" project on OBS (OpenSUSE Build Service) * Download the packages from repository for SLE_11_SP2_Update - libossp-uuid16-1.6.2-36.1 - libossp-uuid_dce16-1.6.2-36.1 - libossp-uuid++16-1.6.2-36.1 - uuid-devel * Or just add the repository zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/postgresql/SLE_11_SP2_Update/ postgresql_build zypper install uuid-devel 3) Download the src rpms for postgresql from "openSUSE" project on OBS * wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2:/Update/standard/src/postgresql-libs-9.1.5-7.8.1.src.rpm * wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2:/Update/standard/src/postgresql-9.1.5-7.8.1.src.rpm 4) Run rpm -ivh postgresql-9.1.5-7.8.1.src.rpm/postgresql-libs-9.1.5-7.8.1.src.rpm to install the source rpms on the build machine 5) When you installed the source rpm, it put the data in /usr/src/packages cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS cp postgresql.spec postgresql.spec.orig We have modified the spec that OpenSUSE12.2 used to build postgresql to disable regression test. cp postgresql-9.1.spec.sles provided by xCAT in this directory to /usr/src/packages/SPECS 6) build the rpms rpmbuild -ba postgresql-libs.spec rpmbuild -ba postgresql-9.1.spec.sles 7) Packages required by PCM on SLES: - postgresql, postgresql-libs, postgresql-server, postgresql-contrib - libossp-uuid16 Note: If not building 9.1.5-x then modifiy postgresql-9.1.spec and change the VERSION: and RELEASE: line to match your level of postgresql.
