  • 1.  Compiling mrtg on AIX 7.2 fails because of gd

    Because there is no rpm package for mrtg I tried to compile mrtg-2.17.10.

    configure works fine:

    cd /tmp/mrtg-2.17.10 && ./configure


    checking for gdImageGif in -lgd... yes
    checking for gdImagePng in -lgd... yes
    checking for gdImagePng_jpg in -lgd... no
    checking for gdImagePng_jpg_ft in -lgd... no
    checking gd.h usability... yes
    checking gd.h presence... yes
    checking for gd.h... yes


    but make fails:

    root@sps:/tmp/mrtg-2.17.10# cd /tmp/mrtg-2.17.10 && make

    You are doing a 32bit build. So your LDFLAGS should not have "-L/opt/freeware/lib64".

    Thank you very much!

    I removed L/opt/freeware/lib64 from LDFLAGS in .profile
    and now I can compile mrtg and build rpm.

    Another question:

    is gcc8 too old for POWER9?

    gcc -mtune=power9 -mcpu=power9 -DSYSV -D_AIX -D_AIX32 -D_AIX41 -D_AIX43 -D_AIX51 -D_AIX52 -D_AIX53 -D_AIX61 -D_AIX71 -D_AIX72 -D_ALL_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -Wno-overlength-strings -Wno-implicit-function-declaration -O -I/opt/freeware/include -I/opt/freeware/include/python2.7 -L/opt/freeware/lib -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -W -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./src/rateup.c -o bin/rateup.o
    cc1: warning: will not generate 'power9' instructions because assembler lacks 'power9' support

    Should I update to gcc10?

    I found:

    "GNU compilers : default is gcc-4.8.5 which does not support -mcpu=power9
    gcc/6.4.0 and gcc/8.1.0 have good power9 support"

    seems that  gcc8-8.3.0-6.ppc should be new enough...

    Hi Mosbach

    gcc10 has better power9 support than gcc8 hence it's better to move to gcc10.

    How can I migrate from gcc8 to gcc10?

    Adding all gcc10-rpms seems not to be enough..

    As of now the default gcc is still gcc8.
    To use gcc10 you need to set the CC & CXX flags to gcc-10 & g++-10

    ok, thanks.

    Works now:

    + gmake
    gcc-10 -mtune=power9 -mcpu=power9 -DSYSV -D_AIX -D_AIX32 -D_AIX41 -D_AIX43 -D_AIX51 -D_AIX52 -D_AIX53 -D_AIX61 -D_AIX71 -D_AIX72 -D_ALL_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -Wno-overlength-strings -Wno-implicit-function-declaration -O -I/opt/freeware/include -I/opt/freeware/include/python2.7 -L/opt/freeware/lib -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -W -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./src/rateup.c -o bin/rateup.o
