    Hi,

I am trying to compile 64bit PERL on AIX 6100-08-02-1316.  I downloaded and am trying to 
compile: perl-5.18.0

I have tried with:
  vac.Bnd                   10.1.0.0    C     F    XL C for AIX Media Defined
  vac.C                     10.1.0.0    C     F    IBM XL C Compiler

  vac.ndi                   10.1.0.0    C     F    XL C for AIX Non-Default
  vac.pdf.en_US.C           10.1.0.0    C     F    XL C for AIX Compiler

and with:
  gcc                        4.2.0-3    C     R    GNU Compiler Collection
  libgcc                     4.8.1-1    C     R    GCC version 4.8.1 shared

I always get the same error:
ld: 0711-738 ERROR: Input file /usr/lib/libdb.so:
        XCOFF32 object files are not allowed in 64-bit mode.
I can't compile the test program.
(The supplied flags or libraries might be incorrect.)

You have a BIG problem.  Shall I abort Configure [y]
Ok.  Stopping Configure.

I have ran nm -X64 filename on all of the libdb.so files in my /usr/lib directory and they all seem 
to be 32 bit.  Here is my system details and it switches between 32bit and 64bit but I would like to
think it is a 64bit op sys.

Maybe I just am on a 32bit install and don't accept it.  LOL, any help is appreciated.

    AIX 6.1 and 7.1 include 32bit and 64bit perl

     

    /usr/bin/perl == 32-bit

    /usr/bin/perl64 == 64-bit

     

    AIX 6.1 is at 5.8.8 (as of tl8 at least)

    AIX 7.1 is at 5.10.1 (as of tl2 at least)

     

    The only gotcha with using IBM's is you really need to compile the perl modules with IBM's compiler as you can get linking issue with gcc.

    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           18 Feb  5 2013  libdb-4.8.a -> ../lib/libdb-4.8.a
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           16 Feb  5 2013  libdb-4.a -> ../lib/libdb-4.a
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           14 Feb  5 2013  libdb.a -> ../lib/libdb.a
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           15 Feb  5 2013  libdb4.a -> ../lib/libdb4.a
     

    So do I compile those to create the .so?  How to get the danged libdb.so in 64bit?????  Anyone know?

    After trial and error and getting a better understanding of what is going on I have successfully compiled perl 5.18.0 on AIX 6100-08-02-1316 using vac 10.1.0.0 (xlc_r) with the following command line for Configure:

    ./Configure \
                    -d \
                    -Dcc=xlc -Dldflags="-s -Wl,-bmaxdata:0x80000000" \
                    -Dinstallprefix=/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/5.18 \
                    -Dprefix='/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/5.18 \
                    -Duselargefiles \
                            -Duseshrplib \
                            -Dusethreads \
                            -Duse64bitall \
                    -Darchname=ppc-aix \
                            -A define:ld='/usr/vacpp/bin/xlc_r' \
                            -A define:ccdlflags='-brtl -bdynamic' \
                            -A define:lddlflags='-bexpall -G -L/usr/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib64  -L/opt/freeware/lib -L/usr/lib'

     

    NOTE: This did require me to create my own 64bit libdb.so.  I downloaded db-5.3.21 from the Berkeley DB site and compiled it.  Then I linked it into the /usr/lib64 bin.  I had to copy over the 64bit libdb.so in the /usr/lib to make this work.  I cannot explain why, something buried in the code.  However I am also creating a rpm that requires that the 32bit one is in the /usr/lib and that the 64bit is in the /usr/lib64.  Which is how it is supposed to be.  Sigh!!!!

     

    I hope this helps someone else, it was a dig out of a stupidity hole for me.  Now I need to make sure it is portable and all that!
