1 Pseudo-random things about netperf on AIX: 2 3 While it _should_ not be necessary in the release bits, the rc bits 4 for netperf 2.4.0 required: 5 6 configure _may_ need: 7 8 CFLAGS="-qcpluscmt -lperfstat" 9 10 until such time as Rick Jones can figure-out or be told how to 11 automagically add those using the configure script (hint hint :) 12 13 The release bits should be OK without the above. Depending on the 14 name used to invoke the compiler, the -qmumble option may be implicit. 15 16 AIX include files have a VERY unfortuneate set of #define's in them 17 for phrases network oriented programs are QUITE likely to have in 18 their source - "rem_addr" and "rem_size" A "cousin" of the Netperf 19 Contributing Editor reports this interferes with --enable-dlpi 20 compilation and that it was also a problem for MySQL compiltion. 21 While we await IBM's APAR with bated breath, netperf has been kludged 22 to workaround this bug in IBM's include files. It has been reported 23 that a "PMR" 34940,212,848 has been submitted to IBM in relation to 24 this bug in their header files. 25 26 Coutesy of Jan Krueger of TUI Infotec, Germany we have a pointer to 27 a workaround for problems with compilation on AIX 6.1: 28 29 https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV01736 30 31 when you get errors like: 32 config.status: creating src/netperf_version.h 33 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -MT netlib.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/netlib.Tpo -c -o netlib.o netlib.c 34 In file included from /usr/include/sys/corral.h:25, 35 from /usr/include/libperfstat.h:28, 36 from netlib.h:679, 37 from netlib.c:166: 38 /usr/include/netinet/in6_var.h:65: error: array type has incomplete element type 39
