Hi,

# I've downloaded Postgres95 and tried to compile it.
# 
# It won't compile "out of the box"
# 
	Yes.

# I've defined BSD44_derived properly in the Makefile.global, patched the ar parameters in 
# order to let it build the archive properly, but I still have errors when linking 
# postgres.
# 
# So, my question is : Is there someone on the list with experience on compiling 
# Postgres95 on a 2.1R box ?
# 
	Yes, me, for example, late in October, I beleive.
	It worked and even passed all tests; for a pity, the guy from
	our site who was going to use it, found other way to do the job,
	so I relaxed and Postgres was left alone without an appropriate
	heavy testing and use. Just now I don't have it installed.

	Yesterday I downloaded all the patches for Postgres95
	from s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu
	(somewhere in postgres95/bugs subdir, I beleive, p*.html)
	and am planning to return to it few days later.
	Please remind me next week -- I'll make a diff of how I made
	it working and either send it to you or post it.

	I strongly beleive that without a heavy testing for at least
	a few weeks doing a full-featured port doesn't have much sence. (?)

	With best regards -- Andrew Stesin.
