#10 Build Error on IBM AIX

[Dietmar Leibecke]

After installing and configuring CppUnit on a AIX
machine I tried to build the tool with make. Compiling
seems to work well, but the execution of nm to generate
the symbol table leads to the following error:

>>>
...
/usr/bin/nm -B Asserter.o CompilerOutputter.o
Exception.o NotEqualException.o RepeatedTest.o
SourceLine.o SynchronizedObject.o TestAssert.o
TestCase.o TestFactoryRegistry.o TestFailure.o
TestResult.o TestResultCollector.o TestRunner.o
TestSetUp.o TestSucessListener.o TestSuite.o
TextOutputter.o TextTestProgressListener.o
TextTestResult.o TypeInfoHelper.o XmlOutputter.o | |
sed 's/.* //' | sort | uniq > .libs/libcppunit.exp
../../libtool[3115]: syntax error at line 1 : `|'
unexpected
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.
<<<

The two pipe symbols after XmlOutputter.o make use of
the variable "global_symbol_pipe", which seems to be
empty in this case.

Any idea anybody??!

Thanks in advance,

Dietmar

The problem seems to be with libtool. It was updated in 1.4.3
(the version after the one used in CppUnit-1.8) to fix linking on
aix

I successfully used dev snapshot 1.9.11 and these settings:
./configure CC=xlC CXX=xlC

to compile and run the self-tests on AIX 4.3 using the Visual
Age 5.0 C++ compiler.
