The following are [...] Instructions
|
||
|
|
to get a clean compile using gcc and xlc
|
||
|
|
under AIX 3.2.4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since I wanted to make sure that Python compiles
|
||
|
|
using both compilers and several sets of options
|
||
|
|
(ANSI and traditional C, optimize on/off) I didn't
|
||
|
|
try to include bash readline or other optional
|
||
|
|
modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'make test' succeeded using Python compiled with
|
||
|
|
the AIX C-compiler invoked as 'cc' and with options
|
||
|
|
'-o -qMEMMAX=4000' and compiled with 'gcc' and
|
||
|
|
options '-O -Wall'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There were some problems trying to compile python
|
||
|
|
using 'gcc -ansi' (because of _AIX no longer being
|
||
|
|
defined), but I didn't have time to look into this.

REQUIRED:
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) AIX compilers don't like the LANG env
|
||
|
|
varaiable set to european locales.
|
||
|
|
This makes the compiler generate floating
|
||
|
|
point constants using "," as the decimal
|
||
|
|
seperator, which the assembler doesnt't
|
||
|
|
understand (or was it the other way around,
|
||
|
|
with the assembler expecting "," in float
|
||
|
|
numbers ???).
|
||
|
|
Anyway: "LANG=C; export LANG" solves the
|
||
|
|
problem, as does "LANG=C $(MAKE) ..." in
|
||
|
|
the master Makefile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OPTIONAL:
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) The xlc compiler considers "Python/ceval.c"
|
||
|
|
too complex to optimize, except when invoked
|
||
|
|
with "-qMEMMAX=4000".
