Hi all!
I'm having trouble building the latest stable on AIX 5.1. My env is as follows:
Relevant GNU tools:
[[...]] gcc-3.3.2-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm [[...]]
I admit I did not use gcc on AIX for quite some time.
Results in the following error:
... checking term.h usability... no checking term.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: term.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: term.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: term.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: term.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: term.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## checking for term.h... yes
Still, this seems to be a problem with the header files supplied / used by gcc. Are you sure you used the "fixincludes" script?
...
config.log has this to say on that:
... configure:22525: checking term.h usability configure:22537: gcc -c -mcpu=powerpc -Wa,-many conftest.c >&5 In file included from conftest.c:90: /usr/include/term.h:1194: error: parse error before "bool" /usr/include/term.h:1225: error: parse error before "SGTTY" [[...]]
IMO, this points into the same direction.
Other than that, I have no idea. Double-check / repeat "fixincludes".
If all else fails, I propose you check (the archives of) the "comp.unix.aix" newgroup.

As of now, I believe my Qs are:
1. What is the correct usage of curses, term and termcap? Which do I need? And why don't the MySQL folks run into this problem - what's their AIX 5.1
environment like that gives them a smooth compilation?
On AIX, we use IBM's compiler.
2. The docs say that using CXX=gcc (to use gcc as a c++ compiler) is preferable. Why does it seem to fail for me, forcing me to using the true g++ compiler?
AFAIK, the main difference between "gcc" and "g++" ist the list of libraries included by default when the compiler acts as a front-end to the linker. Your problems seem to occur in earlier stages.
