  • 1.  Python 3.13.7 for AIX 7.2, AIX 7.3

    Posted Wed September 24, 2025 04:16 AM

    Hi,

    Is it possible to share the include and linker flags needed to build Python3.13.7 on AIX 7.3, AIX 7.2?

    We have gcc 10.3 and IBM XLC 16 on both machines. What is the version of OpenSSL recommended to be use along with this version of Python on both OS?

    Can anyone share build steps?

    We are looking for Python 3.11.13 or 3.12.12 versions also, we use pyenv to maintain multiple versions on AIX, would be helpful too know if gcc 10.3, any specific changes flags changes are needed for building python.

    Hi,

    For any information on how we will build, kindly check the spec files in up to SPECS in the URL below. In your case, check the python3.12-3.12.11-2.spec file by searching for LDFLAGS.
    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/SPECS/python3.12-3.12.11-2.spec

    For patches use the below URL:
