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

This appears to work.  I had to
make similar changes in the libmi directory to not build test_mi on AIX.
In order to run autoconf and automake I had to run autoreconf first due
to version differences.

When I commit these changes. I'm using
the list of files with new dates as a guide for what to commit. I see

where I think I exclude autom4te.cache,
config.status and config.log but commit the rest. Does that look right?

Dave,

libaif is a stand-alone library, so adding a dependency
on utils is not an option. Instead, I'd suggest disabling generating the
testaif executable for AIX.

To do this, modify the libaif/configure.in as follows.
Change:

os=`uname -s`
if test "x$os" = "xAIX" ; then
        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -qinfo=gen
-qcpluscmt"
else
        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall"
fi

to: 

os=`uname -s`
if test "x$os" = "xAIX" ; then
        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -qinfo=gen
-qcpluscmt"
        AIX=1
else
        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall"
        AIX=0
fi
AM_CONDITIONAL([AIX], [test "$AIX" = 1])

Next, add conditionals to the libaif/Makefile.am as follows:

if !AIX
noinst_PROGRAMS = testaif
endif

and:

if !AIX
testaif_SOURCES = testaif.c
testaif_CFLAGS = -I. $(AM_CFLAGS) -g
testaif_LDFLAGS = -g
testaif_LDADD = libaif.a
endif

Then re-run autoconf followed by automake. Hopefully the
library should still build, but the testaif executable won't be built any
more.

Regards,
Greg

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.
