About

This document gives instructions and information on how to build Hercules-390 for AIX v5.3.

Process

  1. Standard AIX systems do not have autoconf, automake, zlib or bzip2 libraries and headers; these can be downloaded from http://www.oss4aix.org/download/latest/aix53/ and installed using rpm (rpm is part of AIX 5.3). Autoconf/automake require some pre-requisites, such as gettext, info, m4, libsigsegv and expat; all these could be downloaded and installed from the same place.

  2. Enter the configure and make commands to build/install Hercules:

./configure  &&  make  &&  make install

(or you can run each command separately if you want).

  1. That's it! Enjoy your private mainframe. :)

The above is based on efforts done by Alexey Bozrikov [bozy@fgm.com.cy], Harold Grovesteen [h.grovsteen@tx.rr.com] and Fish [fish@softdevlabs.com] on the Hercules-390 Yahoo group list during the month of October 2009.

ToDo:

The followings items are still remaining to do:

  • Get SCSI tape working: resolve <sys/mtio.h> header & struct mtget issue(s).
#if defined( HAVE_STRUCT_MTGET_MT_GSTAT )
#else // !defined( HAVE_STRUCT_MTGET_MT_GSTAT )
#endif // defined( HAVE_STRUCT_MTGET_MT_GSTAT )
  • Test networking (did you do this yet Alexey?).
