compiling boost on AIX gives pthread errors

Hi,

I am having problems with compiling boost 1.35 on AIX
5.3 with gcc 4.0.0. I get the pthread errors below. I
am new to AIX, so I have hopes that this can be easily
solved....

Cheers,
Andrej

We don't test with gcc on Aix, but we should.  My system seems to  
compile this file okay :

gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/gcc-4.0.0/release/ 
threading-multi/greg_month.o

     "g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline - 
Wall -fPIC -pthread  -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 - 
DDATE_TIME_INLINE -DNDEBUG  -I"." -c -o "bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/ 
gcc-4.0.0/release/threading-multi/greg_month.o" "libs/date_time/src/ 
gregorian/greg_month.cpp"

This is with Boost 1.35.0 and AIX 5.3 (31488 MB  8 CPU   
PowerPC_POWER5  model IBM,9118-575)

Re: compiling boost on AIX gives pthread errors

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Are there any special configure options or packages
that you installed? I installed AIX for the first time
so maybe I did something bad.

BTW, I noticed that pthread_rwlock_t (the struct my
compiler does not recognize) is defined in
"sys/types.h" and that this file is included from
pthread.h like this:

#ifndef _H_TYPES
#include <sys.types.h>
#endif

But, _H_TYPES is defined at this point and therefor
"sys/types.h" is never included! I checked removing
"sys/types.h" totally from my system but the compiler
does not complain about a missing "sys/types.h" at
all! 

Please anybody?

Cheers,
Andrej

Possibly, but it would be helpful if you sent the full compile line  
for greg_month.cpp, so we can compare them for differences.

Don't know that I'm much help here.  Perhaps you're using a gcc you  
built and installed yourself (rather than the one in /usr/bin/gcc)?

Re: compiling boost on AIX gives pthread errors

Hi,

I think it is related to my AIX installation or
something (sorry for misusing the boost news group).
Even the smallest program does not compile:

#include  <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main (void)
{
   cout << "Hello World!\n";

   return 0;
}

When running gcc main.cpp I some of the same errors as
when compiling boost:

ibm1# gcc main.cpp 
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/4.0.0/include/wchar.h:299:

Yup, seems like an installation problem.  Good luck!

If you are using the IBM provided gcc (4.0?), I found that was 
hopelessly broken. I do remember a XOPEN macro being involved. I've 
learned to block out the memory so I can't help you much more than that.

I think I was better off compiling it myself so maybe that would help you.

Like others said, good luck

Thanks, after installing gcc 4.2.0 from the IBM
website gcc works more or less. Problem is, I still
can't compile boost because I get an internal compiler
error now (see below some gcc output) for some
sources. I was wondering, did ANYONE manage to compile
boost on AIX 5.3 with gcc? If so, which version of
boost and gcc did you use?

Cheers,
Andrej

We use vacpp version 8.0, sorry.

Is AIX tested with any other compilers than gcc?

Thanks,
Andrej
