Installation on AIX:
Here are some hints to get a successful build of GNU gettext on AIX.
* Set the recommended environment variables before running configure:
https://gitlab.com/ghwiki/gnow-how/-/wikis/Platforms/Configuration
Namely:
* for a 32-bit build with gcc:
CC=gcc
CXX=g++
CPPFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include"
LDFLAGS="-L$PREFIX/lib"
unset AR NM
* for a 32-bit build with xlc:
CC="xlc -qthreaded -qtls"
CXX="xlC -qthreaded -qtls"
CPPFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include"
LDFLAGS="-L$PREFIX/lib"
unset AR NM
* for a 64-bit build with gcc:
CC="gcc -maix64"
CXX="g++ -maix64"
CPPFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include"
LDFLAGS="-L$PREFIX/lib"
AR="ar -X 64"
NM="nm -X 64 -B"
* for a 64-bit build with xlc:
CC="xlc -q64 -qthreaded -qtls"
CXX="xlC -q64 -qthreaded -qtls"
CPPFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include"
LDFLAGS="-L$PREFIX/lib"
AR="ar -X 64"
NM="nm -X 64 -B"
where $PREFIX is the value that you pass to the --prefix configure option.
* Avoid using a --prefix that contains earlier installations of the same
package.
Rationale: Because the AIX linker hardcodes directory names in shared
libraries, GNU libtool has a peculiar configuration on AIX. It ends up
mixing the in-build-tree libraries with the libraries in the install
locations, leading to all sorts of errors.
If you really need to use a --prefix that contains an earlier
installation of the same package, proceed in two steps:
1. Build GNU gettext with --disable-shared, and install it.
2. Do a "make distclean".
3. Build GNU gettext with --enable-shared. "make check" will likely
fail with hundreds of test failures, because the AIX linker gets
confused when it find a static libintl installed and expects a
shared libintl in the same place. Do "make install" regardless.
Then you can do "make check", and it will succeed.
