Does anyone have any experience attempting this? I'm not asking for support for Zope on AIX, just for support for the build system. ;-)
I've built Zope in AIX. I'm posting an email that I've already sent to the list. Here it is: I've compiled Zope in AIX, the process to do it is really a little dirty. If you don't want to use your own python, I believe you'd be able to compile it statically just by removing the line "*shared*" from the Setup files. There are them: find . -name "Setup" -exec grep "*shared*" /dev/null {} \; ./lib/python/Setup:*shared* ./lib/python/BoboPOS/Setup:*shared* ./lib/python/DocumentTemplate/Setup:*shared* ./lib/python/Products/MailHost/Setup:*shared* ./lib/python/Products/MailHost/sample/Setup:*shared* ./lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/src/Setup:*shared* ./lib/Components/ExtensionClass/Setup:*shared* ./lib/Components/cPickle/Setup:*shared* ./lib/Components/zlib/Setup:*shared* Here's how I've compiled with my own python: 1)Download, compile, and install your own python from http://www.python.org . I believe you have to uncomment the *shared* line in the Setup file, before compiling. 2)Get the source Zope 3)You'll have to copy(link) from the python/Modules dir the files ld_so_aix, makexp_aix, and python.exp to the dirs: find . -name "ld_so_aix" -print ./ld_so_aix ./lib/python/BoboPOS/ld_so_aix ./lib/python/DocumentTemplate/ld_so_aix ./lib/python/ld_so_aix ./lib/Components/ExtensionClass/ld_so_aix Now compile Zope and it should work. hope this helps, -- Paulo Eduardo Neves PUC-Rio de Janeiro Pager: Central: 292-4499 cod. 213 99 64 ou use a URL: http://www.learn.fplf.org.br/neves/mensagempager.html
