Mailing List Archive: Building on AIX 4

I am having some difficulties building libgcrypt 1.1.11 under
AIX 4. First, the configure script sets HAVE_GETHRTIME to 1
which seems to be wrong. The compile was dying in random.c.
I reset that to zero and now the build has problems later in the build. It
tries to generate symbols with nm and gets numerous errors like the
following:

nm: ../cipher/.libs/libcipher.al[sha1.lo]: 0654-203 Specify an XCOFF object
module

Then, while linking, it gets:

cc: 1501-218 file .libs/libgcrypt.lax/libcipher.al/cipher.lo contains an
incorre
ct file suffix
cc: 1501-218 file .libs/libgcrypt.lax/libcipher.al/pubkey.lo contains an
incorre
ct file suffix
cc: 1501-218 file .libs/libgcrypt.lax/libcipher.al/md.lo contains an
incorrect f
ile suffix

.......

BTW, what are .lo files (they seem to be present rather than the typical .o
files)?

Any clues? Thanks.

What about the latest stable release [i.e. 1.1.12]?

I am quite clueless at the moment about this.

Those are `libtool' Files. GNU Libtool is a framework for building
libraries on different systems in a consistent way. It seems to fail
on yours. Could you maybe try to install the GNU development tools
[autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.] and run the `autgen.sh' script
that is provided in the tarball? This should regenerate the rules for
building the package.

Just an idea.
