Re: Perl: AIX compile error

[marioroy]

From perlaix: If you choose gcc to compile 64-bit Perl then you need to add the following option. See also, article at IBM.

-Dcc='gcc -maix64'

Update: Ah, it looks like you're wanting to build a 32-bit Perl. Have you tried the following configure option?

-Dcc='gcc -maix32'

There is AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications. The AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications contains a wide variety of software, including but not limited to:

- Application Development - gcc, g++, gdb, rpm, cvs, automake,
  autoconf, libtool, git, subversion, gettext

- GNU base utilities - gawk, m4, indent, sed, tar, diffutils,
  findutils, grep, coreutils

- Programming Languages - perl, python, ruby, php

- System Utilities - emacs, vim, bzip2, gzip, rsync, wget, lsof,
  less, samba, zip, unzip

- Libraries - ncurses, readline, libxml2, libyaml, libpng, libjpeg,
  slang, db, glib2, zlib, gtk+

- System Shells - bash, tcsh, zsh
- Software Managment - YUM
- Developing graphical user interface - gtk2+
- Cloud environment - cloud-init, python-swift

With the perl binary, included with the toolbox, one can then extract the configure options used.

/path/to/toolbox/bin/perl -V | grep config_args

Am not sure how gcc was installed. If taken from AIXTOOLS, notice the extra step after the installation.

/opt/libexec/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.7.0/4.7.4/install-tools/mkheaders
