[ptp-dev] Problem with configure scripts and xlc compiler on AIX

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get the proxy code to compile for AIX, and am unable to get 
past the configure step. I ran automake and autoconf before running 
configure in the org.eclipse.ptp.utils directory, and also 'export 
CC=xlc'. When I run the configure script I get an error telling me the 
compiler can't generate output files, and when I look at the log, I see 
messages from the xlc compiler that it doesn't understand the --version 
option when xlc is invoked by the configure script. 

Is there a way to tell configure not to invoke xlc with the --version 
option? I'm not very familiar with writing automake and configure scripts, 
having attempted it only once before. I tried commenting out the 
AC_PROG_CC and AM_PROG_CC_C_O macros in configure.in and rerunning 
autoconf to see if that would help, with no luck.

I also tried a google search and found other references to the same 
problem, but no solution.

Thanks
Dave
