Re: [ptp-dev] Problems building sdm on AIX

Running autoconf and autolocal solved
my problems running automake but didn't solve the problem I have getting
the timestamp that is part of the directory name for org.eclipse.ptp.utils.

I looked at the configure.in for org.eclipse.ptp.rm.ibm.pe.proxy
where the build also requires libutils and copied part of that into the
configure.in in the SDM libaif subdirectory and discared my Makefile.am
changes.

The fragment I copied into configure.in
is
VERSION="_$PACKAGE_VERSION"
if test `expr "$VERSION" :
"_@@<:@^@@:>@*@"` -gt 0 ; then
    VERSION=
fi

UTILS="`echo ../org.eclipse.ptp.utils${VERSION}`"
if test ! -d $UTILS; then
    UTILS="`echo ../../core/org.eclipse.ptp.utils${VERSION}`"
fi

echo "=====> VERSION "
$VERSION
echo "=====? UTILS " $UTILS
LIBS="-L$UTILS -lutils"

I ran autoconf then ran the BUILD script.
The log file for libaif shows that VERSION is set to _2.1.0 but I'm not
sure where _$PACKAGE_VERSION gets it's value from or oif this is what I
should be doing to get the timestamp.

The link for libaif fails because the
path to libutils is improperly constructed.

Dave,

You probably need to run autoconf (and possibly aclocal)
before automake in order to bring everything up to the correct version.

I'm trying to build the sdm module on
AIX and am running into problems. 

The first problem, which I can fix, is that org.eclipse.ptp.utils/src/compat.c
has a function definition 
vasprintf(char **strp, const char *fmt, va_list ap)
that needs to change to 
vasprintf(char **ret, const char *fmt, va_list ap)

Once I change that and run the BUILD script for AIX, the build for the
sdm fails in libaif with an unresolved reference to asprintf, which is
only available in libutils.a for AIX. The asprintf function is not implemented
by standard AIX libraries. 

I tried to fix this by changing the Makefile.am file in org.eclipse.ptp.drbug.sdm/libaif
to add -lutils to testaif_LDFLAGS, but when I tried to run automake I got
an error telling me the configuration files were built using autoconf 2.61
while I have version 2.63. So I can't rebuild the files.

I'm also not sure how to specify the -L flag to point to the org.eclipse.ptp.utils
directory since the directory hs a timestamp as part of its name, and I'm
not sure libaif is teh only directory where I need to change the Makefiles.
