[comp.windows.x] Installing core R4 on AIX 2.2.1 fails

karl@cgdisis.ucar.edu (Karl Sierka) (01/05/90)

Am I missing some patches? What was the AIX patch level used on the
machine that tested the AIX server install?

With the following error message...
stuff deleted...

making Makefiles in ./server...
        rm -f server/Makefile.bak
        mv server/Makefile server/Makefile.bak
        cd server; .././config/imake -I.././config  -DTOPDIR=../. -DCURDIR=./ser
ver; \
        make  Makefiles
sh: syntax error at line 3: `;' unexpected
*** Error code 2

P.s., Where is the NeXT machine server?

  Sorry, but the R4 distribution doesn't include support for AIX
on an RT, only on a PS/2.  It does support AOS 4.3 on an RT.

I don't know.  We had a machine in on loan for a very short period of time
for testing the R4 server, and I confess that we at MIT never did a complete
system build under AIX, we only built the server.  But, IBM folks had done
complete builds, as we understand it.

It looks like SUBDIRS is coming up empty in your server/Makefile.  You
might check to see if this is true.  You could try sending us your
ibm.cf file (if you changed it) and the generated server/Makefile, and
we'll see if we can figure out the problem.

    Does this look correct?
    make BOOTSTRAPFLAGS=-DSYSV World >& make.world

Nope.  Try

    make BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=-Daix World >& make.world

I can't think of any reason why the client-side shouldn't build.

  Oops, I meant to say that the SERVER doesn't support AIX on the RT.
Sorry for the confusion.
