Hello, this is regarding your updates of patch *2491990*:
> 1.) I applied the part of the patch that changes the Makefile to not > install rxapid on AIX because you said it won't work on AIX. There must be > some way to have rxapi run as a daemon, or a service, on AIX, isn't there? > Will your AIX package set that up? Yes, the daemon can be started via /etc/inittab - see unix readme. If ooRexx 4.0.0 is out I might add the necessary entry via the AIX LPP install package. If I find the time I could also provide an AIX version of rxapid. I tried to put rxapi under the control of the subsystem resource controller (SRC) in AIX but unfortunately this did not work out.... > 2.) I didn't apply the second part of your patch concerning g++. I'm not > an expert on the config system, but it looks to me like that part of your > patch turns off g++ on AIX yes > in addition to issuing a warning. Rick was > opposed to this and after some second thought I am too. If the binaries > don't work, then so be it. > The binaries build but the resulting executables do not work as supposed. Basically the build is broken. Neither gcc 3.x not 4.2 do produce working executable on AIX. > I think Rick's feeling was that if someone tries to build with g++ on AIX, > they will discover soon enough that the binaries don't work. Maybe they > will have the skill to come up with a fix for that and turning off g++ may > just discourage their trying to fix it. OK, so I could change this to a warning message that the binaries do not wok and just go on with the build ? > > Wouldn't it be better to submit a patch to the unix-like-build.txt file > updating the AIX portion wil some text saying that using g++ on AIX does > not seem to work and we would appreciate any help in determining why? > I can do this - no problem. > Anyhow, I would rather see the update unix-like-build.txt route at this > point. If you think I didn't interpret the effect of the patch correctly > (which I might not of) please submit a patch with just that change and > bring it up for discussion on the devel group. > OK > I know Rick monitors all these tracker updates just like I do. But, it is > just easier to discuss these types of things through an e-mail interface > rather than the tracker interface. I for one need a spell checker. <grin> > OK, I switch to that tracker because Rick told me so a while ago :-)) ... > Thanks again for all your work on AIX. No problem.
