dostats and AIX

Hi there, We will upgrade from version 10.00 to 11.50 within next days and I tried to compile latest version of Art's dostats on AIX 5.3. We use 64bit server and I have installed esql 3.50 with 32bit (we have a veryvery old C binary in place and it seems that sources are missing and this binary needs 32bit libraries to work). I installed gcc/g++ plus libraries and downloaded the 'esql for AIX' replacement from oninit.com. I have a dostats in place on AIX (Features Version 5.10, Source Revision: 1.146 !) which I managed to compile years ago. I remember it took me days to fight thru AIX and gcc. But know I'm stuck - I have no success compiling dostats on AIX. Here is what I get (and dozens of lines more): root@hacmp:"/home2/root/utils2"$ export INFORMIXC=g++ root@hacmp:"/home2/root/utils2"$ esql -o xxxx dostats_ng.ec dostats_ng.ec:100: warning: non-local variable '<anonymous struct> tabinfo' uses anonymous type dostats_ng.ec:100: warning: non-local variable '<anonymous struct> lastidx' uses anonymous type dostats_ng.ec:121: error: 'loc_t' does not name a type dostats_ng.ec:185: error: 'loc_t' was not declared in this scope ... If I use INFORMIXC=gcc I just get: root@hacmp:"/home2/root/utils2"$ esql -o xxxx dostats_ng.ec gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory Unfortunately I'm a real C noob and don't know how to get this working. Any help possible? Q2: Or can I also use the old dosstats version for 11.50? Thanks in advance. Before I forgot. rpm list: libstdc++-4.2.4-2 gcc-c++-4.2.4-2 libstdc++-devel-4.2.4-2 libgcc-4.2.4-2 gcc-4.2.4-2

OK, the dostats_ng code is not C++ safe. There are C-ish things in there that a C++ compiler will complain about, that's just a given, so you'll have to use gcc. Now, it looks like your GCC installation is broken, it looks like while the compiler driver, gcc, is there the actual C compiler components (cc1, cc2, etc.) are missing. Probably gcc was installed along with g++ but gcc was never installed. Have you tried using the native AIX compiler - xlc? That should be installed on any AIX system normally. The makefile changes needed to use xlc are present in the makefile as comments and are explained somewhat in the BUILDING file. Let me know how it goes. Art Art S.

Thank you Art. Your point of broken gcc finally led me to the missing "extra" package for AIX: gcc-cpp-4.2.4-2.aix5.3.ppc.rpm. This provides cc1. (Why the hell is this extra? Anyway...) Now I get the following (complete error list): root@hacmp:"/home2/root/utils2"$ make dostats INFORMIXC=gcc esql -O -DHAVE_GNU_GETOPT=1 -DHAVE_GETOPT_H=1 -o dostatsdostats_ng.ec getopt.c dostats_ng.ec:121: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'exprtext' dostats_ng.ec:185: error: expected ')' before '*' token dostats_ng.ec:186: error: expected ')' before '*' token dostats_ng.ec:187: error: expected ')' before '*' token dostats_ng.ec: In function 'main': dostats_ng.ec:278: error: array type has incomplete element type dostats_ng.ec:279: error: 'no_argument' undeclared (first use in this function) dostats_ng.ec:279: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once dostats_ng.ec:279: error: for each function it appears in.) dostats_ng.ec:280: error: 'required_argument' undeclared (first use in this function) dostats_ng.ec:2810: error: 'exprtext' undeclared (first use in this function) dostats_ng.ec:2820: error: 'writeit' undeclared (first use in this function) dostats_ng.ec:2821: error: 'openit' undeclared (first use in this function) dostats_ng.ec:2822: error: 'closeit' undeclared (first use in this function) dostats_ng.ec: At top level: dostats_ng.ec:4275: error: expected ')' before '*' token dostats_ng.ec:4297: error: expected ')' before '*' token dostats_ng.ec:4314: error: expected ')' before '*' token getopt.c: In function 'exchange': getopt.c:270: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'malloc' make: *** [dostats] Error 1 I red thru README/BUILDING and have no idea what to change.

Many thanks again. Joerg

The errors you are seeing are all caused by commenting out the #include "getopt.h" line. The default getopt.h that AIX delivers is not compatible with the customized GNU getopt.c file that is delivered with my package and it needs the getopt.h that is also included. The line: /* #include "getopt.h" Not <getopt.h> need the delivered header. */ Should read: #include "getopt.h" /* Not <getopt.h> need the delivered header. */ Let me know if this helps. Art Art S.
