Now I need to see if I actually put everything needed in ./build/aix/README for httpd.
Starting point for me is: use neither /usr(/local) nor /opt/freeware (as I am trying to be independent of "old" RPM's). A secondary goal is that the installp packages built are suitable for installation in WPAR (hosting) environments. Next - I started with a clean installation (AIX 5.3 TL7 first, working mainly with AIX 6.1 now) and "added" things as needed. For zlib - what is needed is to copy zlib.h, and I think there is another zlib related include file as well. -- copy to /usr/include, or /opt/include For apr and apr-util I added build/aix/* files - I'll send copies if you like. An independent tester who finds them sucessful may help get them accepted to apr and apr-util trunks. For the other packages that are needed - I wrote a buildaix package that you can download via http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkinstallp/files/buildaix-1.0.0/ If you add /opt/bin to your PATH the command /opt/bin/buildaix will run the ./configure command with some defaults - basically - prefix is /opt, mandir=/usr/share/man, and confdir is /etc (and another one is /var, I forget it's name atm). I choose /opt as, imho, a better generic prefix for AIX - where /usr/local just seems to create problems. (Idea: a symbolic link of /usr/local -> /opt might fix a lot of things that break with "./configure" commands that only look at /usr and /usr/local by default - but this is an aside". Summary: drop /usr/local as prefix, stop using old RPM (or any RPM if possible) - instead download and build fresh using buildaix -- /opt, /etc, /var and /usr/share/man as default destinations For httpd: customized version of build/aix/* for apr-util in any case (buildaix could be used for apr, but I have a seperate set of files for that package as well) So, e.g., coreutils I built and installed using buildaix, same for pcre and any other required external package. Thus, with php, I started with buildaix. libxml2 was missing so the basic step was: root@x104:[/data/prj/libxml2-2.7.7]buildaix .... installp -d . aixtools.libxml2.rte .... aixtools.libxml2.rte 2.7.7.0 USR APPLY SUCCESS Added /opt to list of directories to search in configure to look for xml2-config LINE 21865 And configure completes. I also got an Syntax errors with embedded sqlite so I compiled an external version. However, php continues to try to compile that. Maybe you can help me beyond this point: michael@x054:[/data/prj/php-5.3.13]cat php_configure.ksh #!/usr/bin/ksh set -x ./configure \ --prefix=/opt \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --with-libdir=/opt/lib \ --with-sqlite3=/opt \ > build/aix/configure.out Now that configure has finished (there is a makefile) I can use buildaix again (it skips the ./configure step if it sees a Makefile) root@x104:[/data/prj/php-5.3.13]buildaix NAME: php VERSION.RELEASE: 5.3.13.0 /usr/bin/buildaix: using existing Makefile /usr/bin/buildaix: run make distclean to get a standard AIX configure -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 127516 Jun 14 00:44 ./Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 17721 Jun 14 00:44 config.cache -rw------- 1 michael staff 44892 May 8 11:22 config.guess -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 47234 Jun 14 00:45 config.log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 177 Jun 14 00:42 config.nice -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 91276 Jun 14 00:44 config.status -rw------- 1 michael staff 33387 May 8 11:22 config.sub + make > build/aix/make.out "/data/prj/php-5.3.13/ext/sqlite3/sqlite3.c", line 893.9: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error.

I hope this is not too lengthy - but I am anxious/curious about what I am doing wrong - that make continues to try to compile the embedded sqlite when it has an external one.
