Perl 5.8.8 34711 on AIX 5.3

[Rainer Tammer <tammer@tammer.net>]

Hello,
currently I am trying to update the build instructions for AIX.

Here is my first result for patch 5.8.8 #34711.

Compiler IBM XL C/C++ V9 on AIX 5.3.

Patch to aix.sh

# diff aix.sh.orig aix.sh
167c167,168
<     lddlflags="$lddlflags -bhalt:4 -bexpall -G -bnoentry -lc"
---
> #    lddlflags="$lddlflags -bhalt:4 -bexpall -G -bnoentry -lc"
>     lddlflags="$lddlflags -bhalt:4 -G -bI:\$(PERL_INC)/perl.exp
-bE:\$(BASEEXT).exp -bnoentry -lc -lm"

=> -G should work without a problem with the native dlopen (at least
starting from AIX 5.3; I have to check this on AIX 5.2).
=> We should not use -bexpall !! It is better to use an export file.
This gives more control over the exported symbols.

MyConfigure.sh

export OBJECT_MODE=32
export CC=cc_r
export MAKE=/opt/freeware/bin/make

./Configure \
  -d \
  -Duseshrplib \
  -Dusethreads \
  -Duseithreads \  
  -Dusemultiplicity \
  -Duseperlio \
  -Duselargefiles \
  -Ud_sfio \
  -Ud_signbit \
  -Doptimize='-O -qipa' \
  -Dldflags='-brtl -b32 -bmaxdata:0x80000000'

The -qipa is necessary with IBM XL C/C++ V8 and V9 because of an
optimizer bug (already reported to IBM).
Without this flag SDBM gets messed up.

With this setting:

Compile:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

export OBJECT_MODE=32
export MAKE=/opt/freeware/bin/make
/opt/freeware/bin/make

Make test:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

export MAKE=/opt/freeware/bin/make
/opt/freeware/bin/make test

Result:

All tests successful.
u=2.14  s=0.81  cu=251.15  cs=50.29  scripts=1148  tests=134084
make[2]: Leaving directory `/daten/source/perl-5.8.x-34711'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/daten/source/perl-5.8.x-34711'

The MAKE is necessary because the AIX make does not know the -w switch.
So I need to use GNU make.

Is anyone els testing on AIX ??


Bye
  Rainer
