Hello, I succeed in compiling (gcc 4.1) the 2.5.1p3 on AIX 5.2 with : --disable-shared in the configure step and some alterations in all Makefiles. While executing the process hangs while gzipping the index file ... I encounter the same problem on Linux and have to revert to the previous version. I try to recompile with the 2.5.0.p2 and the process work util end and files are written to the virtual tape used for tests. I will try now to restore some files.
What to do in the Makefiles --------------------------- 1) In the CFLAGS parameters ; change -q32 to -maix64 -qlonglong to -mlong-double-64 2) In the LDFLAGS parameters : suppress the '-b32' so LDFLAGS end with no param at all. 3) The parameter ' -X 64' must be added to "ar" parameters in all Makefiles 4) Add '-x 64' to all "ar" in the "libtool" script (occurs 3 times). 5) make and make install. 6) go Regards Storm66
