[comp.unix.aix] GNU make on RS/6000

jw@pan.UUCP (Jamie Watson) (10/30/90)

Has anyone successfully compiled GNU make on an RS/6000 with AIX 3.1?
If so, what version of GNU make and what patch level of AIX was it?

I'm trying to compile make 3.58, and I'm having lots of trouble with
the archive scanning functions.

Is there any other operating system running on this box? (Just 
curious).

Well, the answer is: yes I did.

AIX "Golden" v.3.1. GNU Make 3.58. I'm not aware of any "patches".

Yeah, I had some troubles too (:-).

I needed it ("make", not troubles :-) to play with ISODE 6.2 
(ISODE didn't quite like standard "make").
