I saw some posts to this list and the user list from a couple of months
ago about issues building Axis2/C on AIX. I managed to get 1.4.0 to
build (and run) on AIX 5.3 and thought I should post my experience.
I had to make some minor code changes and I am not sure the way I got it
to build is the best (putting -D_ALL_SOURCE in CFLAGS seems like a bit
of a hack). I tried putting define of _ALL_SOURCE in an aix specific
header file but I got into a recursive include mess and gave up ton
that.
Also, I have never used autoconf nor automake and my boxes don't have
versions that work with the distributed configure.ac and Makefile.am
files so I am not sure how the below "todo's" should be resolved.
Versions:
Axis2/C 1.4.0
AIX 5.3
gcc 4.2.0
native ld
native make
Below are errors encountered and what I did to get around them.
