Hello. This is my very first post and question in this forum. 

So, What is the equivalent of Debian GNU/Linux package "build-essential" in AIX dnf repository?

Through searching, there is also no result from the command dnf groupinstall "development tools"  on AIX, which is the same command in Redhat Linux based distributions as equivalent to Debian GNU/Linux package "build-essential".

I just also want to thank this forum. It was very helpful in running IBM AIX 7.2 on QEMU virtualization technology. I am now running AIX as if it's Redhat Linux but  without a desktop environment yet. I reached a point where PHP, MySQL, Apache, Postgresql and bash are installed.

Right now, this functionality is not available for AIX Toolbox. We will check whether we can bring this in the future.
