[Rd] Building R for AIX in 64-bit mode

Hi.

Just wanted to let you know I am getting close to packaging R for AIX in
64.bit mode.

One comment - the libtool.m4 I see used is quite old. The one I have on my
system is 2.4.6, and what I see in R says:

I am hoping a new libtool will clean up most of the manual work now needed.

# Which release of libtool.m4 was used?
macro_version=2.2.6
macro_revision=1.3012

This may be all that is needed to cleanup what I am doing manually.

working with gcc I have done the following for 64-bit building

export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CFLAGS="-maix64 -O2"
export FFLAGS="-maix64 -O2"
export LDFLAGS="-lpthread"

Note - it does not look as if LDFLAGS is actually being picked up, but
maybe I had a typo.

The first error I get is:

Target "libunix.a" is up to date.

This is repaired by adding the -maix64 flag again to the gcc comand used to

The following steps - first cut/paste the original command, then add -maix64

(Using the same command in the 3.1.3 directory shows there are some other
differences)

Which version? (You mentioned 3.1.3 and 3.2.2 far below.)  There is 
little value in reporting on frozen branches, and most value in 
reporting on R-devel where all the current changes have been incorporated.

But libtool is hardly used in building R.

See the manual: flags such as -maix64 should be part of CC, not CFLAGS. 
  That explains a lot of what was reported.
Specifically, 
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Essential-programs-and-libraries
and https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#AIX .

It is safer to put such things on the configure command line or in a 
config.site file (they will be found when updating if you do).

[Lots of test output removed.]

inrephrase - would like to be active in keeping R binaries current for 
AIX. My interest in not in R per se (rather a colleague who has a 
project that uses R, so I hope to assist him, and others like
him).>

is new between releases, and what has been around for "awhile".

Note: in the future I shall edit all the "you cannot build, could not 
determine ... messages" - and as much as possible, shall focus on 
R-devel "packaging".

I (attempt to) 'package' a lot of Opensource tools for AIX. Generally, 
the problems are not application code related (sometimes a function 
available on one platform, e.g. Linux, but not on AIX) - but most are, 
or can be resolved, with modifications via configure.ac, Makefile.in, etc..

Sincerely,
Michael

"Details"...

When configure does complete - config.log starts with:
It was created by R configure 3.1.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

   $ ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/var/R/etc 
--sharedstatedir=/var/R/com --localstatedir=/var/R 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/opt/share/info/R --with-readline=no 
--with-x=no

As I see you are using a recent autoconf (and I shall guess a recent 
automake) I would like to try a more version of libtool and see if that 
corrects anything. However, even in R-devel I do not see, directly, how 
you are using these tools (some projects include either a setup.sh or a 
buildconf script to standardize how the project does this.) I am quite 
capable of just calling the tools in sequence, but would prefer to 
follow your procedure.
I
Starting again - fresh 3.1.3, 3.2.2 and R-devel - all in 32-bit mode, 
for the start. The goal is a 64-bit build so that memory management will 
be easier.

This is my "standard command for building a package"

CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/buildaix/include -I/opt/include"
CFLAGS="-I/opt/include
-I/opt/buildaix/include -O2" ./configure \
                 --prefix=/opt  \
                 --sysconfdir=/var/R/etc \
                 --sharedstatedir=/var/R/com \

Here there are similiar - and new problems. The error re: rtld is 
usually a compiler (actually ld) flag error - a routine is expected to 
be exported in a shared object, but the object is still "static".
I have seen this same problem with at least one R module.

I still am unsure why some functions are being defined double - that 
info will come later

I followed the suggestion to move the flag -maix64 from CFLAGS and 
FFLAGS (where I think it belongs) to the compiler defintions. It does 
build better, but, still many concerns.

Details - too many lines of duplicate symbol references to paste (not 
wishing to spam the list - for details see

The undefined sysbols can be resolved by adding -lpthread to the gcc 
command (and can be automated by adding that to LDFLAGS I expect, but 
imho - better if that gets caught by configure).

It then ends with:
