Re: pkgsrc on AIX 7.1

[Rodrigo Garcia <rgarcia%inmegen.gob.mx@localhost>]

Okay so I fooled around with rpms and such and finally updated gcc to 4.8.3.


rama:/storage1/pkgsrc/bootstrap# export CC=/opt/freeware/bin/gcc
rama:/storage1/pkgsrc/bootstrap# $CC --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.3
[...]
rama:/storage1/pkgsrc/bootstrap# export GCCBASE=/opt/freeware


Then I ran bootstrap again, no apparent errors.

I set in mk.conf:
CC=gcc
CXX=g++


Then tried to install nano, failed:

rama:/storage1/pkgsrc# cd editors/nano/

rama:/storage1/pkgsrc/editors/nano# bmake
