3 You will need gcc. The AIX xlC compiler doesn't work, but probably
4 could be made to. gcc-3.3.2 has been tested.
6 bootstrap-pkgsrc has been tested on AIX 4.3. It will probably work on newer
9 Please note the use of GNU binutils on AIX is not supported.
10 Make sure GNU ld is not in your path.
14 It makes life much simpler if you only use the same gcc consistently
15 for building all packages.
17 It is recommended that an external gcc be used only for bootstrapping
18 gcc from pkgsrc, lang/gcc3 is recommended.
23 Here is an example mk.conf:
26 # Configure scripts don't always get this right
27 MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
32 PKGMAKECONF=${MAKECONF}
35 You also need to setup a few environment variables:
37 PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb
38 MAKECONF=/usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf
39 MAKESYSPATH=/usr/pkg/share/mk
41 You'll also want to set PATH, MANPATH and LIBPATH
