Failed to build ACE 5.4 on AIX 5.2 with gcc3.3.2
Used config-aix5.1.h and platform_aix_g++.GNU
I failed with ACE5.1, 5.3 too, so I tried 5.4.

Does anybody know IF it works ?
Could it help to build my own AIX5.2 gcc ?
(my gcc 3.3.2 is binary AIX 5.1 but it worked fine for Non-ACE-
 applications)
Do I have to use IBM Visual C++ Compiler ?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

    ACE VERSION: 5.4

    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
        RS/6000, 32-bit-kernel mode, AIX5.2

    TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
    COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
        gcc 3.3.2 (binary distribution)

Hi Andreas,

we are using TAO1.4 on AIX5.2 with gcc 3.3.1 and don't have
your problem.
Our configuration:
config-aix5.1.h
platform_aix_g++.GNU

We are using
inline = 0

and removed

#  define ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS

in config-posix.h, because there are still differences in Posix AIO
and AIX AIO implementation :-(

But I think, this don't solve your problem. We have used
many versions of TAO and I've never seen your problem.
Some inconsistencies with compiler-AIX-version?
Are you using binaries of gcc or do you compile the sources
of gcc?

I you are using binaries, then the pthread.h of AIX don't fit
to gcc, which seems to be compiled for AIX5.1 !
Our system adiministrator is using something like the
attached file fix.cmd


Best regards,

Werner Buchert.

Hi Werner,

this really made the things work !!!
I just thought it was something with AIX 5.1 and 5.2 because I am
using the
AIX 5.1 binary gcc but did not know how to work around.

1. I changed "3.3.1" to "3.3.2" and run the script
2. ACE Makefile works fine then with some warnings left...
3. ...and "sigval_t not declared" !
4. So i tried adding "typedef union sigval sigval_t;" in config.h
   (so did the freeBSD people) and I got it !

Best regards,
:-) Andreas
