Can we get AIX binary for 1.0.8?

There is a new 1.0.8 release but no aix7_binary_stenc-1.0.8. Is it possible to attach a binary version for us that don't have access to an AIX box with builds tools. Would be very useful.

I have no AIX, but I think @ninthclowd has access to AIX. We need volunteers who compile and test binaries.

unfortunately I am in a different job now and don't have access to an AIX system anymore

@c3rberus, it has been a long time since I originally compiled the binaries on AIX, but I seem to remember installing various build tools from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-linux-applications-downloads-alpha. I would try installing the following:

  • gcc
  • gcc-c++
  • autoconf
  • make (GNU)

From there I believe you can do the following:
autoreconf --install
./configure --with-static-libgcc
gmake

That should get you the binary.

Looks like a bunch of dependencies needed to install gcc, I'll see if I can get someone over at unix.com with access to AIX 7.2 build system to do a one-off build.

We still have no one with AIX. See also #54

Closing here, as we have no AIX available here. Please join the beta testers, if you can help out with AIX.
