1)I just got aix64-cc shared build succeed with -bautoexp. It was possible to modify Makefile pretty similar to aix43-cc.
******************************************************************* SHARED_LDFLAGS=-q64 ................................................................... # AIX: $(CC) ALLSYMSFLAG=-bnogc SHAREDFLAGS=${SHARED_LDFLAGS} -G -bautoexp -bM:SRE SHAREDCMD=$(CC) do_aix-shared: libs='-L. ${SHLIBDEPS}'; for i in ${SHLIBDIRS}; do \ ( set -x; \ ld -b64 -r -o lib$$i.o $(ALLSYMSFLAG) lib$$i.a && \ ( \ $(SHAREDCMD) $(SHAREDFLAGS) \ -o lib$$i.so.${SHLIB_MAJOR}.${SHLIB_MINOR} lib$$i.o \ $$libs ${EX_LIBS} ) ) \ || exit 1; \ libs="$$libs -l$$i"; \ done ******************************************************************** Therefore, for both 32 and 64 bits we can now build shared libraries with -bautoexp as well as with *.exp files. 2)You are right, the version openssl-0.9.7 did not contain 0.9.7 extention for aix but in my changes (which appear to be in snapshot version) I included these extentions to be consistent with other platforms where shared build contain these extention. I made experimental builds without extentions just for myself; I didn't send you such changes to Makefile. The reason I did that for myself is that if you link a module, say module.so with soname libcrypto.so.0.9.6, you can not then dynamically load it with libcrypto.so.0.9.7. However, if you link module.so with libcrypto.so (by modified Makefile from, say, openssl-0.9.6), you can dynamically load it with either version as they have symbolic links to libcrypto.so (we are not physically including libssl.so... & libcrypto.so... into our software and SSL connection will work if the user installs openssl himself). On solaris and linux it worked, but on aix caused problems (I didn't check for Windows yest but expect it should work). But this is not so important at that time, you don't have to worry.

We leave the code as is [as in openssl-0.9.7-stable-SNAP-20030119.tar.gz or later] and document the aix64-cc case in PROBLEMS in wait for more appropriate solution (covering even gcc:-). BTW.

Makefile.org in 0.9.7 says -o lib$$i.so, i.e. no .0.9.7 is appended. > Two sentences above don't make any sense to me, unless you asked us to > change it earlier, before 0.9.7 release that is. Please clarify. But I still want to hear about this. Cheers.
