[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.4.svn on AIX based supercomputers

Hi,

I backported the relevant things from trunk, now GRASS 6.4.svn
(upcoming 6.4.4) compiles on AIX powerpc systems, too!

While this is fine:
GRASS 6.4.4svn (patUTM32):~/software/grass-6.4.svn > g.version -r

Revision: 50937
Date: 2012-02-25 14:14:51 +0100 (Sat, 25 Feb 2012)

I struggle here (same error as for GRASS 7 on the same system):

GRASS 6.4.4svn (patUTM32):~/software/grass-6.4.svn > g.list vect
Could not load program g.list:
        Dependent module libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6) could not be loaded.

Any pointers?

Have you included -R,/opt/freeware/lib in LDFLAGS? If not, you
probably should. See also GRASS wiki [0], there the entry for AIX 7.x.

In that case (I added
-Wl,-bsvr4,-R,/opt/freeware/lib
) it happily segfaults:

configure:775: checking for gcc
configure:879: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -maix64 -maix64

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
configure: failed program was:

#line 890 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}
-bash-3.2$

"Guessing" gcc on AIX parameters remains to be tricky.
