Hi gurus,

I am installing Apache 2.0.63 on AIX with native xlC. This requirement is a pre-requisite to have SAP Contnet Server.

I have xlC on my AIX 5.3 machine. Confirmed this with:
# lslpp -l | grep -i xlc
xlC.aix50.rte 10.1.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime for
AIX 5.3
xlC.cpp 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.en_US.cpp 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.en_US.rte 10.1.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime
xlC.rte 10.1.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime

I had to set the env variables as below, as per SAP recommendations:

CFLAGS="-q64", LDFLAGS="-q64", EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB="-b64" OBJECT_MODE=64

Also, CC=/usr/lpp/xlC was set to ensure that the native C compiler is used.

When I execute Configure command, I am getting the below error:


$ /home/gsqcs/apache_2063/httpd-2.0.63/configure --prefix=/home/gsqcs/apache_2063 --enable-mods-shared=most --with-mpm=prefork

See `config.log' for more details.

----------

SAP guys says - Under AIX the compiler gcc is not replaced automatically. For that you need to export the flag CC=/*/bin/xlc (xlc -> IBM nativ xlc compiler) Otherwise the gcc compiler will be always used.

Please advise how I can use the correct C compiler and install Apache without errors.

Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Hi,

I have used the option CC=xlc_r and executed CC=xlc_r /home/gsqcs/apache_2063/httpd-2.0.63/configure --prefix=/home/gsqcs/apache_2063 --enable-mods-shared=most --with-mpm=prefork

but still getting the error message:

checking for gcc... xlc_r
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
configure failed for srclib/apr

How do I ensure that xlC is correctly picked up?

I have xlC:

# lslpp -l | grep -i xlc
xlC.aix50.rte 10.1.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime for
AIX 5.3
xlC.cpp 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.en_US.cpp 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.en_US.rte 10.1.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime
xlC.rte 10.1.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime

the location of xlc is:

$ ls -l | grep xlC
drwxr-xr-x 4 bin bin 256 Jun 17 2008 xlC
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 256 Jul 23 19:09 xlC.aix50
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 256 Jul 23 19:25 xlC.cpp
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 256 Jul 23 19:25 xlC.msg.en_US
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 256 Jul 23 19:33 xlC.msg.en_US.cpp
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 256 Jul 23 19:09 xlC.rte
$ pwd
/usr/lpp

What is the correct way of using xlC as the compiler?

My Apache installation is stuck because of this. Please help !!

Thanks in advance,
Abdul

So that is in that log? Anything useful?

Maybe you need to run buildconf before configure
