Hi Tom and community members, Please find attached the patch (See: v4-0001-Add-AIX-support-for-Postgresql-using-meson-build-.patch)
You will need to git apply your patch and then this patch. I had missed out a few things like the die message change in the .pl file in the v3 of this patch. Also, the export OBJECT_MODE=64 flag is tentatively only needed. I maintain meson in AIX and have raised a PR (link below) to eliminate the need to do the same. Once merged will update meson in AIX and we will no longer need to export the same. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/15516 So this puts AIX in sync with other targets and we can also now just do meson setup build && meson compile -C build to build the project. Have a nice day ahead. Thanks and regards, Aditya.
