Thanks for the response, Bill.

I confirmed that the compiler install works fine:
pvm-vangogh-94:grussell [625] /usr/local/bin/gcc  hello.c -o hello 
pvm-vangogh-94:grussell [626] ./hello Hello World!

I also tested it with your simple program and it also compiles OK and runs.

I think the problem lies in the options that CMake uses to test the AIX compile 
environment.

Thanks

OK, from the log you sent, we can see that CMake is passing some stuff to the linker:

/usr/local/bin/gcc CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec680887608.dir/testCCompiler.c.o -o cmTryCompileExec680887608 -Wl,-brtl,-bnoipath,-bexpall -Wl,-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib



I think the problem is that you are using the GNU linker, and CMake seems to be expecting the AIX linker to be used even with gcc.

You can see this is the linker used:
/usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0/4.4.4/../../../../powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0/bin/ld:

Which is the GNU linker and not the AIX linker which supports and needs that flag.


You should be able to change this in Modules/AIX-GNU.cmake

which has this:
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_${lang}_FLAGS "-Wl,-brtl,-bnoipath,-bexpall") # +s, flag for exe link to use shared lib



That should get you going. I will think about a solution that can be incorporated into CMake. Would you be willing to run a nightly dashboard with this configuration so we can test it over time?

Thanks.
