GTK+1.2.6 works on AIX 4.3.3
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: GTK+ Version: 1.2.6 OS: AIX 4.3.3 GUI: X11 R6.3 Compiler: IBM xlC 3.6.4 GTK+ 1.2.6 works fine on AIX 4.3.3 using IBM's xlC compiler ( NOT GNU's GCC ). there are some things to do though in order to make gtk to work: for glib 1.2.6: run configure as: configure --enable-ansi \ --enable-mem-check --enable-debug=yes \ --enable-mem-profile --enable-static \ --enable-shared=no and then change (edit) the config.h to comment out HAVE_GETPWUID_R ( undefine it ) Otherwise, the getpwuid_r() function causes segmentation fault in gutil.c file. As for gtk+ 1.2.6: use same configure flags as above for glib 1.2.6. Make sure that AIX system have the X11 Xmu include files. If not, grab the Xmu include files from X11R6.3 or X11R6.4 distribution tar files. CHF __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

I'm going to say that this is a problem with the GNU toolchain (libtool, automake, gcc) not figuring out how to behave properly on AIX, so not a GTK bug.
