libpgeasy on AIX

<sigh> 

I feel like an dunce...

Thanks to all that helped with my last query - I got
postgres compiled on AIX.

Now I have this problem:

I tried to compile libpgeasy and get the following:
make is gnumake 3.79.1 and the compiler is gcc 3.3.2
I presume that the equivalent of ldconfig is to set
$LIBPATH? Something is wrong with $SHARED but I dont
know what.


vodagpccspivr1:/home/dtuser/postgresql-7.4.1/pgeasy-3.0.1>
./make
gcc libpgeasy.o halt.o -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq
-fpic -shared -Wl,-x,-soname,libpgeasy.so.3
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/pgsql/lib -o libpgeasy.so.3.0
ld: 0706-027 The -x flag is ignored.
ld: 0706-012 The -p flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-012 The -a flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-012 The -t flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-012 The -h flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: libpgeasy.so.3       ld:open(): A file or directory in the path
name does not exist.
collect2: ld returned 255 exit status
make: *** [libpgeasy.so.3.0] Error 1

Thanks in advance

Craig

Seems like gcc doesn't like your -x or -rpath.  Not sure why.

It's a linker option, not a gcc option.

Thanks! That gave me the lead...

-shared will invoke AIX's linker: -rpath is a GNU ld option. The AIX
equivalent is -blibpath. However after reading through
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/gnu.html I just
changed the Makefile by changing 
SHARED= -fpic -shared -Wl,-x,-soname,$(TARGET).so.$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION)
-Wl,-rpath,$(POSTGRES_HOME)/lib to
SHARED= -fpic -shared and then set $LIBPATH to include
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

That did the trick for me, maybe it will help someone else.
