Leif,
I've just looked - this will '''not''' build on AIX with gcc for two
reasons.
* There's nothing in {{{spkg-install}}} to handle AIX
* The AIX targets in {{{src/unix/Make-arch}}}, which are {{{aix-thr}}},
{{{aix-64-thr}}}, {{{aix-mpi}}} and {{{aix}}} all assume an IBM compiler
is used.
The same situation exists with HP-UX - the file {{{src/unix/Make-arch}}}
assumes the use of the HP compiler for all the HP-UX targets.
I will create two new targets for the file {{{patches/Make-arch}}}, which
I will call
* {{{aix-generic}}}
* {{{hpux-generic}}}
which will use $CC as a compiler, and not assume a propriety compiler with
any special flags. Hopefully that will work with gcc and any reasonable
set of flags.
Since you intend cleaning up the ticket, if I attach that as a unified
diff patch, can you make sure that the target {{{aix-generic}}} is used on
AIX (where $UNAME = AIX) and {{{hpux-generic}}} is used on HP-UX (where
$UNAME=HP-UX)?
I might as well do the HP-UX targets at the same time as the AIX ones,
though building on AIX looks a lot easier than building on HP-UX - at
least with the hardware I own.
Note there are already several targets been added various platforms,
including, but not limited to Solaris.
Let me know how you want to proceed. We might as well do AIX and HP-UX at
the same time.
Dave
