Created by Dwight Chang (dcrs6000@pacbell.net) on Monday, May 4, 1998 6:01:36 PM PDT Additional Details : Environment: IBM Rs/6000 Power 2(MCA) System IBM AIX 4.2.1 CDE X11 R5 IBM xlC Ver. 3.1.4.8, xlC Ver. 4.1 and GNU C/C++ Ver. 2.8.1 GNU make Ver. 3.76 Source Code Version: unix-19980429.tar.gz Problem: (Solved) ENDIAN definition problems h_page.c and hash.c had to be modified because of a recursive #include of the header file "mcom_db.h". It seems that the header file hash.h has an include for the "mcom_db.h" file. Not sure why, but when the compiler performs all the includes the ENDIAN definitions do not get defined. This occures when I use gcc, IBM C Ver. 3 and 4.

Dwight, Changes are going in all over the tree to support AIX 4.2. I believe (when all the modifications are in) you will be able to build and link successfully. When I'm sure, I will close this bug. Please give it another try when you see these files checked in (you will need to setenv USE_PTHREADS 1 in your environment): mozilla/include/mcom_db.h mozilla/dbm/include/mcom_db.h mozilla/xpcom/src/nsRepository.cpp mozilla/network/main/mkconect.c mozilla/network/main/autoupdt.h mozilla/network/protocol/ftp/mkftp.c mozilla/caps/src/nsPrivilegeManager.cpp mozilla/modules/libpref/src/prefapi.c mozilla/modules/rdf/src/glue.h mozilla/modules/xml/glue/xmlglue.h mozilla/lib/libi18n/fe_ccc.c mozilla/lib/libmocha/et_moz.c mozilla/lib/libpics/csparse.h mozilla/cmd/xfe/src/DragDrop.cpp mozilla/cmd/xfe/fonts.c mozilla/cmd/xfe/mozilla.c mozilla/cmd/xfe/Makefile

I think this can be closed because the source is now completely unrelated to what it was when this bug was submitted. And AIX support is once again forced to start from nothing.... <sigh>
