from the content of your message and the lack of replies it looks like you just volunteered to port OOo to AIX :) there are actually various references to AIX in the code base: http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/Current%20(trunk)/tools/inc/tools/solar.h#312 here the platform UNXAIXP is defined, which is presumably AIX on PPC, with X11. so at one time someone was working on a port. but probably that was a very long time ago, maybe even in the nineties. i guess if you really want to do a port, it may be a good idea to use GCC as the C++ compiler instead of whatever half-baked C++ implementation IBM ships, because the reasonable working assumption is that all C++ implementations are broken, which implies that GCC is broken in some ways too, but the current OOo code base is already adapted to the ways in which GCC 4.x is broken, which is not true for the IBM compiler. (iirc the lone maintainer of our OS/2 port also chose to use GCC instead of the IBM compiler; presumably for good reasons) regards, michael -- "And now the budget’s balanced Retrenchment is the hero On either side is entered A solitary Zero" -- Laurie Tarshis, "The Elements of Economics" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
