[Mono-devel-list] Mono on AIX

[Eran Sandler]

Hi,

I actually managed to fix the Makefile problem and I did manage to
compile Mono on AIX :-)

I got some dependencies problems, mainly with gettext and libintl which
I need to resolve and than I will be able to test mono.exe.

Regarding the _AIX_SOURCE flag, I know there is a flag named
PLATFORM_WIN32 which is used to define Windows specific code. I was
wondering whether there is a convetion for naming such flags because I
need such a flag to make everything work on AIX.

There are some minor code changes for AIX specifically and thats why I
need a flag.

Do you recommend using PLATFORM_AIX ?


After I'll finish making everything work, I will start fixing up the
various configure.in files and autogen scripts to make it work out of
the box for AIX.

Is there a chance that if I do complete most of the AIX support it will
go in v1.0?

Thanks,
Eran
