A little AIX info. AIX 5.2 ----------- I have an old machine running AIX 5.2, but it is not clean as it has developer tools (e.g. make, gcc, g++, etc.) installed. This is the 5.2 machine I have been testing on so far. I do not have compatible hardware where I can install AIX 5.2. Support for AIX 5.2 ended on April 30, 2009. AIX 5.3 ----------- I have an old machine running AIX 5.3, but it is not clean as it has developer tools (e.g. make, gcc, g++, etc.) installed. I haven't tested on this machine (yet). I do not have compatible hardware where I can install AIX 5.3. AIX 5.3 is still supported, but support ends 30th April 2012. AIX 6.1 (released November 9, 2007) ----------- As I write, I am doing a clean install of AIX 6.1 on a virtual server. This way I can be sure that everything needed is packaged by PyInstaller as this machine will have nothing but the standard libraries installed. End of support for AIX 6.1 is not announced yet (AFAIK). AIX 7.1 (released Sept 10, 2010) ----------- I don't have access to AIX 7.1 Suggestion: ----------------- The only reason I had to include the 'mkdtemp' hack on AIX was since this function was not yet in 'libc' in AIX 5.2 (and maybe also not in 5.3). However, the hack does no harm. Therefore, I suggest that I leave this code in as it makes PyInstaller generated programs run on AIX 5.2. With regards to finding out which libs needs to be redistributed, I will test this on my clean AIX 6.1 installation. I cannot test this reliably on 5.2 og 5.3 as I cannot get to a clean install of these AIX versions. So what we will end up with is an AIX version of PyInstaller that works with 6.1 where it is tested. It will probably also run on 5.2 and 5.3. Any suggestions?
