[omniORB] Building omniORB-4.1.4 under AIX

[Jayanth Venkatraj]

I am using a AIX 6 box:

$ uname -a
AIX cmaix61 1 6 00F704644C00

And xlc version 11
$ xlc -qVersion
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V11.1 (5724-X13)
Version: 11.01.0000.0000

And I could not find omnipython for AIX. Can anyone point me in the right direction to where I can get the source for omnipython, so I can build it from scratch?

The SourceForge page doesn't list an AIX version http://sourceforge.net/projects/omniorb/files/omnipython/omnipython-1.5.2-1/

I am using a regular Python (2.7.3 32 bit executable)

I did a export CC='xlc -q32' CXX='xlC -q32' LDFLAGS='-g -b32' LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/cmsi1/tools/rw/rw_buildspace/lib:/usr/java_dev2/jre/bin:/usr/vacpp/lib:/lib
PYTHON=/usr/citizens_prep/Python-2.3.7/python

And I am did the ./configure -prefix=/usr/citizens_prep/omniORB-4.1.4/build

Do I need to specify a -build parameter?

Any idea as to why it is looking for omniORB41 and not omniORB4?

I can create a soft link to the existing libomniORB4.a, but I want to know if I am missing something or doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Jay Venkatraj

You should use a full install of Python. omnipython is obsolete.

And I am did the ./configure ?
prefix=/usr/citizens_prep/omniORB-4.1.4/build

You shouldn't set the prefix to the build directory. You should set it
to the place you're going to install omniORB.

No.

There is an error in the makefiles for AIX. It has been fixed since
4.1.6, so the fix will be in 4.1.7.

Edit src/services/mklib/stublib/dir.mk and
src/services/mklib/dynstublib/dir.mk and remove the ifdef AIX blocks.
