The script buildaix.ksh will attempt to build a AIX installp fileset out of a source tree for ASF project REQUIREMENTS: Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- bos.adt.insttools 5.3.7.2 C F Tool to Create installp Packages Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- rpm.rte 3.0.5.41 C F RPM Package Manager Additional: Preferred: download zlib sources and copy zlib.h and zconf.h to /opt/include and, if configure cannot find them directly, add symbolic links from /usr/include to /opt/include To build a package, make sure you are in the root of the source tree, and run: build/aix/buildaix.ksh An AIX fileset named $PKG.$NAME.$ARCH.$VERSION.I will be created in the build/aix directory. the .template file created is also there. KNOWN issues: on AIX libtool is known to have issues with the install command. Some of these issues have been resolved by extracting the apr/apu utilities from the projects (i.e. NOT using the embedded version) In case of problems I recommend that you install the GNU 'install' program (part of coreutils) If make DESTDIR=$TEMPDIR install command continues to fail, try 'make install' and then run the buildaix.ksh command again TODO Add Copyright display/banner Add Apache LICENSE to fileset and require acceptance Add special instructions for TCB - to ignore /etc/* /var/httpd/htdocs/* Add _config_i scripts to setup autostart Add _pre_i scripts to verify pre-requisites, required users/groups, etc.
