- [Excerpt from an email describing how to build Python on AIX.]

- The following are [...] Instructions
- to get a clean compile using gcc and xlc
- under AIX 3.2.4.
-
- Since I wanted to make sure that Python compiles
- using both compilers and several sets of options
- (ANSI and traditional C, optimize on/off) I didn't
- try to include bash readline or other optional
- modules.
-
- 'make test' succeeded using Python compiled with
- the AIX C-compiler invoked as 'cc' and with options
- '-o -qMEMMAX=4000' and compiled with 'gcc' and
- options '-O -Wall'.
-
- There were some problems trying to compile python
- using 'gcc -ansi' (because of _AIX no longer being
- defined), but I didn't have time to look into this.

- REQUIRED:
- ---------
-
- 1) AIX compilers don't like the LANG env
- varaiable set to european locales.
- This makes the compiler generate floating
- point constants using "," as the decimal
- seperator, which the assembler doesnt't
- understand (or was it the other way around,
- with the assembler expecting "," in float
- numbers ???).
- Anyway: "LANG=C; export LANG" solves the
- problem, as does "LANG=C $(MAKE) ..." in
- the master Makefile.
-
- OPTIONAL:
- ---------
-
- 2) The xlc compiler considers "Python/ceval.c"
- too complex to optimize, except when invoked
- with "-qMEMMAX=4000".
