Hi
I am getting error while building PSQL 17.1 on AIX box-
bash-5.1# uname -a
AIX AIXLPHPOM01 1 7 00F8B83A4C00
bash-5.1# ./configure --prefix=/home/raghu/postgres/psql17/build --without-readline
checking build system type... powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.4.0
checking host system type... powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.4.0
checking which template to use... configure: error:
*******************************************************************
PostgreSQL has apparently not been ported to your platform yet.
To try a manual configuration, look into the src/template directory
for a similar platform and use the '--with-template=' option.
Please also contact <pgsql-bugs@lists.postgresql.org> to see about
rectifying this. Include the above 'checking host system type...'
line.
*******************************************************************
Can you please revert with a solution for this?
Regards
Raghu

AIX is not supported by Postgres 17.X. IBM has made noises about
contributing the necessary effort and expertise to re-support it
in 18.X and later ... but so far they haven't entirely followed
through. See discussion here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CY5PR11MB63928CC05906F27FB10D74D0FD322@CY5PR11MB6392.namp...
Personally, I'd be much happier anyway if there were a grassroots,
community-driven effort to deal with the problems that made us
remove the AIX port. If you can be part of that, step right up.

Read the cited thread. And also the thread it links to,
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20240224172345.32@rfd.leadboat.com#8b41e50c2190c82c861d91...
The lack of working alignment support initially complained of there
was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Andres mentioned a
selection of other AIX problems here:
