Hello Team,

I am facing this issue while running the pyinstaller command or run ./setup.py command.
But still not resolved, I also refereed this document.

when we referred this document which mentioned above and tried to build the bootloader ,
we are facing this issue -

#python3 ./setup.py build

First of all one has to understand that lot of open source packages have dependency on other open source packages. AIX base OS has only limited number of open source packages. And these are customised as well for some different purposes. We recommend the users to use AIX Toolbox infra to install these kind of dependent packages.
In this case, use Toolbox python3. (/opt/freeware/bin/python3)
This pyinstaller package configure for AIX is not proper. So you need some hacks.

git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller
cd pyinstaller
Apply below changes.

diff --git a/bootloader/wscript b/bootloader/wscript
index ea74e6f1..0c0e8cbc 100644
--- a/bootloader/wscript

# By default strip final executables to make them smaller.
- features = 'strip'

then

Hello Team,

Thankyou for reply.

As suggested, I tried to install pyinstaller using git , but while trying , I came to know that git is also not installed on my AIX system.
with the help of dnf script , I installed git on my system then I followed the same steps which mentioned in earlier post -

but still, I am facing the same issues-

# git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller

The zlib development package is either missing or the shared library cannot be linked against. For security (and marginally better filesize), you should install the zlib-dev or zlib-devel packages with your system package manager, and try again. If you cannot do this (for example, distributions such as OpenWRT use sstrip on libraries, making linking impossible), then either use the --static-zlib option or set the PYI_STATIC_ZLIB=1 environment variable. If you are installing directly with pip, then use the environment variable.

I also checked zlib and zlib-devel lib , but it is also installed on aix asystem.

Please make sure gcc rpm is installed and it is available in the PATH. Also export CC & other variables I mentioned earlier in the thread. Try to use gcc rather than xlc compiler.
