- Trying to build oleo-1.2 on an IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.2.3), I encountered
- several difficulties:
-
- I ran ./configure, then changed prefix to /usr/gnu, and CFLAGS to -O.
- gcc 2.2.1 is on the system.
-
- 1. gcc got fatal signal 6 when compiling regions.c, so I recompiled it
- without optimization and got no complaints. [I'm not going to report
- this gcc bug to bug-gcc since the current gcc is 2.3.3]
-
- 2. utils.c gets compile errors (namlen) with gcc and system's cc, but
- not system 'bsdcc', so I used that.
-
- 3. io-utils.c has a function 'div' which conflicts with one in the
- system, defined in stdlib.h (!). I changed 'div' to 'loc_div' without
- incident.
-
- 4. io-x11.c redefines getenv in a different way than stdlib.h (no 'const'),
- so I ifdef'ed it out.
-
- 5. You don't need -ltermlib on AIX.
-
- 6. ualarm.o apparently needs to be included in the 'objs' line in
- Makefile, since 'alarm_interval' can't be resolved.
-
- 7. gcc complains a couple times about assignments between incompatible
- types, but they are warnings, and on rs/6000, they shouldn't matter.
-
- 8. The executable doesn't work! On the console, with DISPLAY defined,
- when I start oleo, I get the startup message in my xterm, then
- nothing. No windows, nuttin. Then only thing I can do is send
- 2 ^C or ^Z. Perhaps this is just ignorance on my part.
-
- 9. The INSTALL file refers to a mailing address in README, but
- README doesn't show a mailing address.
