There seem to be problems in the autoconf stuff. cos and sin are being located in libm but the link line you show has no '-lm' which accounts for 6 of the 7 missing symbols. Also gettext seems to have been located by the configure script, but there is no option on the link line to include it in the link. Also search configure.in for strings like powerpc-ibm-aix to see what stuff is being done specifically for AIX. It may be out of date in relation to your system.
If it was my problem, I would have look at those bits of the configure
script and the sections of configure.in that generated them. Then I
would compare the AC_SUBST variables with the makefile.in that
generated the link. It seems there is some non- communication there.
Yes most of the undefined symbols seem to come from libm. But they
would also be in libm on all other platforms which have such, and we do
not include it there. On Linux I get
gcc-3.4 -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o R_X11.so dataentry.lo devX11.lo rotated.lo rbitmap.lo -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -ljpeg -lpng -lz -L../../../lib -lR
What happens on Linux is just not really relevant to what happens on AIX, although it might explain why the errors have not been picked up. A number of platforms do not have a separate libm. Instead they have a symlink to some general C library. So typically libm is linked by default on these platforms. It looks as if that is not the case on AIX, and that a specific -lm flag is needed.
and this works. As Brian already wrote, we are building a *module*
here, so I assume that we are not getting the flags for building modules
right. Assuming that libtool can, it might be helpful to look at the
output of BUILDDIR/libtool --config.
The error messages are about missing symbols.
