I am trying to use PyInstaller 1.5.1 on AIX 6.1 and have gotten some of the
way. However, some input would be appreciated.
I am using Python 2.6.2 and GCC 4.2.0.
I start out trying to build the bootloader:
--------------
bash-3.00$ python ./waf configure build install
AIX-32bit detected
Checking for program xlc_r or xlc : gcc
<..snip..>
Checking for flags -Wl,--as-needed : yes
'configure' finished successfully (2.711s)

bash-3.00$
--------------
It seems the problem is that the linker does not recognise the option
'--as-needed'.
A small change to source/wscript fixes this:

Now, the bootloader builds.
However, when running he Configure.py script i run into problems detecting
TCL/TK:
--------------
bash-3.00$ pyinstaller-1.5.1/Configure.py
I: computing EXE_dependencies
I: Finding TCL/TK...
I: Analyzing /usr/bin/python
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "pyinstaller-1.5.1/Configure.py", line 110, in test_TCL_TK
mo = re.match(pattern, nm)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'pattern' referenced before assignment
bash-3.00$
--------------
It seems the pattern is uninitialised unless the platform is 'win', 'linux' or
'darwin'. Adding a few lines to avoid TCL/TK detection in other situations
fixes this problem: (I realise this means I will not have access to TCL/TK but
for now that is fine.)

Now, configure runs cleanly.
So now I try to build an executable from a plain and simple "Hello World"
script, that looks like this.
--------------
#!/usr/bin/python
print "Hello PyInstaller!"
--------------
To build it, I run:
--------------
bash-3.00$ pyinstaller-1.5.1/Makespec.py test.py
wrote /data/maconomy/mgd/test.spec
now run Build.py to build the executable
bash-3.00$ pyinstaller-1.5.1/Build.py test.spec
<..snip..>
--------------
Trying to run the executable results in:
--------------
bash-3.00$ cd dist/test/
bash-3.00$ ./test
Error loading Python lib './libpython2.6.so.1.0': 0509-022 Cannot load
module ..
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.
--------------
According to 'ldd' my executable does not depend on something called
'libpython2.6.so.1.0'.
--------------
bash-3.00$ ldd test
test needs:
/opt/freeware/lib/libz.a(libz.so.1)
/usr/lib/libdl.a(shr.o)
/usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)

/usr/lib/libc.a(shr_64.o)
/unix
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr_64.o)
bash-3.00$
--------------
I found a libpython2.6.a in my Python installation and tried (naïvely) to copy
it to the local folder and rename it:
--------------
bash-3.00$ cp /opt/freeware/lib/libpython2.6.a .
bash-3.00$ cp libpython2.6.a libpython2.6.so.1.0
bash-3.00$ ./test
Error loading Python lib './libpython2.6.so.1.0': 0509-022 Cannot load
module ./libpython2.6.so.1.0.
0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.
bash-3.00$
--------------
It seems that the generated binary expects some sort of Python shared library
whereas I only have a lib for static linking.
Now, I am a bit stuck.
Any help or pointers are highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Martin Gamwell Dawids
