I am trying to use PyInstaller 1.5.1 on AIX 6.1 and have gotten some
of the way. Some input however 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

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

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:

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
'libpython'
--------------
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/librtl.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$
--------------
so I guess it is something the generated binary loads dynamically.
However, there is no 'libpython<anything>.so' on my AIX box, only
something called libpython2.6.a and I am not sure whether this is a
static library or a shared library. But simply copying it to my
PyInstaller generated folder and renaming it to libpython2.6.so.1.0
does not help.
--------------
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.
--------------
Now, I am a bit stuck.
Any help or pointers are highly appreciated.

Martin Gamwell Dawids
