Created attachment 120223 [details] AIX SDM patch Currently the SDM debugger does not compile on AIX because of dependencies on GNU getopt() that are incompatible with AIX getopt(). This patch fixes AIX options parsing so SDM works correctly. I had to update configure.in and Makefile.am files because of differences in compiler options betweeen AIX and Linux. I did not include updated copies of the configure and Makefile.in files since when I ran automake and autoconf on my Linux system, they complained about version differences between the tools that built the files in teh PTP build and the versions I had. I did not want to cause problems with the ptp build. Those should be updated on whatever system is compatible with the ptp build tools.
Applied, but I changed the #ifdef __linux__ to #ifndef _AIX so that Mac OS X would also work. Please check the AIX build is still ok.
AIX build still works with modified patch

Hi Greg, I have been trying to get sdm included in PTP5.0.7 to compile under AIX and I found the AIX build is currently broken. I think it may be caused by the following three errors: 1. there seems to be an error in function vasprintf inside in file compact.c, which is in org.eclipse.ptp.utils_5.0.7.201203231315/src/. The compiler is complaining about using variable ret without declaration first. I am guessing that ret is supposed to be the first parameter of the function, and I was able to compile the util library after I rename the first parameter of function vasprintf to ret. 2. Makefile generated for compiling libaif does not include linking to utils and its patch and it causes an undefined reference error when compiling this library. I resolved this error by adding "-lutils -L../../org.eclipse.ptp.utils_5.0.7.201203231315" to LIBS in the Makefile. 3. Makefile generated for compiling libmi does not include linking to utils and its patch and it causes an undefined reference error when compiling this library. I resolved this error by by using the same approach described in #2 as well. Can you please verify if my changes are correct for resolving issues when building SDM under AIX? Thanks and Regards, DanS.
Dan, Sorry this has taken so long. We're about to release a new version of PTP so I presume you'd like these fixes in the new version rather than the current version? We're not planning any more releases of the current version.

Yes, please include these fixes in the new version of PTP. Thanks.
The problems with asprintf and linking in the sdm directories are fixed by bug 399428 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 399428 ***
