[OpenAFS-devel] AIX install

[Kris Van Hees]

Looking into the pinstall issue myself a bit as I was trying to get OpenAFS
to compile on our AIX 5.1, I found that just changing pinstall to add in the
'-X32_64' flag with AFS_AIX51_ENV and AFS_64BIT_ENV are defined is sufficient
to solve this problem.  Using a more standard install would definitely be a lot
better as the ongoing thread stated, but for now this seems to be a very small
workaround.

Now, why strip would need such an option when -X32_64 lets it strip both 32 bit
and 64 bit executables is beyond me.  I assume they have a good reason for it.

On top of this, I also needed to fix two typos in the AIX 5.1 system include
files (/usr/include/sys/audit.h in fact), and the use of vfs_syncvfs had to be
removed from src/afs/AIX/osi_vfsops.c and src/afs/AIX/osi_vnodeops.c, because
at least this install of AIX 5.1 does not have a vfs_syncvfs in the vfsops
struct.  Since people have mentioned that they are running this in production,
I'm wondering whether there have been major revisions to AIX 5.1 somehow that
could cause this large a discrepancy?

Also, I found that after getting things to compile and install, there is no
v3fshelper in the OpenAFS sources, to handle the fsck of the /vicepxx
partitions.  After a reboot it turned out that somehow, fsck may have in fact
destroyed my volumes, so I'd guess there is a need for *something* to deal
with fsck on AIX?
