The new XL C/C++ compiler for Linux distributions, which support Power Systems running Linux distributions configured for the little endian architecture, is now included in the same product as the current XL C/C++ Linux compiler from IBM, which supports Power Systems running Linux distributions configured for the big endian architecture. And what's more came with the package? A new install utility that supports installing the correct compiler based on your operating system.

 

No matter what your operating system is, big endian or little endian Linux, you just need to run the following command to install the V13.1.1  compiler:

 

cd /cdrom

./install

 

During the installation, you're prompt to read and accept the license agreement and licensing information to continue installation. 

 

Beside this install utility, you can also use the OS default installation tools to install the compiler.
