Are you still using an old version of the XL compiler due to the fear that the upgrading procedure might be complex?
We wish you to have a first-class user experience, starting from installation. We’ve created a workflow diagram for each installation task, and a click on each individual step on the workflow diagram will take you to the section for more details. Below is an example for XL C for AIX. Note: the components of this image are not clickable as this is just a screenshot - you may follow the links at the end of this blog to see them in action.
