Re: pkgsrc on AIX 7.1

[J Raynor <jxraynor%gmail.com@localhost>]

I remember hitting this problem, but I can’t remember for sure how I got around it.

Try adding these lines to mk.conf:

CC=gcc
CXX=g++


Also, gcc 4.2 is somewhat old.  I think you’re going to have problems building some things.  Try 4.9 if you can.
