[Omniprint-developer] Re: [Omniprint-user] Omni-0.9.0 and espgs-7.05.6 on AIX 4.3.3

Hi Mark,

hm - do you have the possibility to build Omni on AIX 4.3.3? I can give 
you all information about used software components (like in my first mail).

I think, not many people have tryed to build Omni on AIX - when you look 
at "make install_local" (or similar) you see some generated changes at 
/etc/ld.conf - a file which does exist on Linux but not on AIX (the AIX 
linker /bin/ld uses as far as I know only the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable). 
And as I reported there are other problems:
- shared libraries are build but not installed
- some includes have to be added to the source files

I'm sorry, but I'm not a software developer - my knowlege ends now... 
Perhaps it is of interest for the project team to stabilize the code for 
building on AIX - both, Omni and AIX, are IBM "projects".

All I can do is to be your beta tester - and that I'm willed to be! 
Priority for me would be 4.3.3 release because one of our customer - who 
uses now ESP Print Pro + ESP Ghostscipt + Foomatic - must stay at 4.3.3 
and can't change to 5.1/5.2 because of other restrictions (it's a small 
company with a single system which serves some database driven 
application services and things like Samba, Printing, Intranet...). But 
I have also testsystems here in my office for doing builds on newer AIX 
releases...

Please tell me your opinion!

Regards,
Gottfried
