Hello everyone. Is there anyone who can help me with this little
problem I am having during compilation? I have the latest amanda
source, 2.4.4p3 and trying to compile it on an AIX 5.2 system. I run
into this same error with the 2.4.4p2 source as well... so what is it
that I need to tweak or add??

./configure --without-server --with-user=amanda --with-group=disk
--prefix=/usr/local/amanda

messages to note:

<<--PASTED-->>

configure: WARNING: *** Neither shmget() nor mmap() found!
configure: WARNING: *** This system will not support the Amanda server.

<<--END PASTE-->>

* should not be a problem seeing that I only want to make this AIX box
an amanda client.

now, when running make, it craps out at the very start
with this:

I'm using GNU tar, sed, bison, m4, texinfo... GCC 3.3.3 (the binaries
compiled with AIX 5.1, but I don't believe that to be a problem since I
get the same error message compiling amanda on AIX 4.3 with a different
version of gcc)

Feedback and answers much appreciated!

Hello Anthony,

Looks like no one responded to your message, so I'll tell you what I
know. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution, just some info and a
possible work-around, however you may find it helpful, so here goes.

The problem you are having is due to using GCC on AIX with Amanda. When
you run the Amanda's configure, these two flags are added to the compile
options:

gcc: unrecognized option `-q32'
gcc: unrecognized option `-qlonglong'

GCC doesn't like these.

I have manually removed these from the make file, but this didn't allow
the compile to finish.

Another option which has been reported to work is to use IBM's C
compiler. At $1000 per copy, it isn't cheap to test, but it may be an
option if you are desperate. Do note that I tried this and it didn't
work for me. The compile finished without errors, but the binaries
didn't work. YMMV.

The final solution that I found was to use Amanda 2.4.2p2. This is
latest version that I have gotten to work on AIX.

The following link should pull up the original thread about this.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/messagesearch/39116?query=aix

I hope this helps you out some. If you do manage to find a solution to
this problem, please let me know!


Thanks!
