[Pnet-developers] Success building pnet 0.6.12 on AIX 5.1, some run-time problems

[Christophe LEITIENNE]

Hi everyone,

First, thanks for this great work !

I successfully build pnet 0.6.12 on AIX 5.1, *without* libgc.
my configure command is:
./configure --without-libgc --enable-threads=posix

For the build environment, I use only the GNU tools available from the
IBM site, and known as "AIX Toolbox for Linux applications", and
especially the assembler (what requires to rename the native
/usr/bin/as, not to use it).

For the run-time libraries, I use all the pre-build binaries from the
win32 package (can I assume it's a good idea ?)
Simple C# programs compile and run well, except when I use ToString()
applied to an int or double. It throws a System.OutOfMemoryException.
What information could I find to debug that ?

Here is the error I have when building *with* libgc:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include    -I../libgc/include
-I../include
-DCSCC_LIB_PREFIX=\"/usr/local/lib\"
-DCSCC_BIN_PREFIX=\"/usr/local/bin\"
-DCSCC_DATA_PREFIX=\"/usr/local/share\"
-DCSCC_HOST_TRIPLET=\"powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0\" -g -O2 -Wall -c hb_gc.c
hb_gc.c: In function `ILGCInit':
hb_gc.c:286: error: `DATASTART' undeclared (first use in this function)
hb_gc.c:286: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
hb_gc.c:286: error: for each function it appears in.)
hb_gc.c:286: error: `DATAEND' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [hb_gc.o] Error 1

I'm unable to find where those defines are declared.

Thanks,

Christophe.
