------------------------


I have encountered some problems building 60u9 (and 60u8, 60u4) on fedora
core 6, and managed to fixed most of them, so I am going to detail it here.

(1) why the *&^%$£ is the default compiler switch in aimk contains both
-Werror and -Wno-error? Earlier gcc seems to think if you specify both, it
means no (or the last one take effect) - gcc 4.1 on fc6 seems to believe it is
the opposite - if you specify both, it means aborts on any warnings. I have to
strip out the -Werror's from aimk.

(2) "config.sub" in  source/3rdparty/qtcsh and source/3rdparty/qmake
are too old to recognise "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" on kernel 2.6 as a
valid platform.
You need to copy this file from a more recent automake/autoconf/libtool.
On my box many of these are the same and in any case, more up to date
that V60u9 is carrying:

/usr/lib/rpm/config.sub
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/config.sub
/usr/lib64/php/build/config.sub
/usr/share/apps/kapptemplate/admin/config.sub
/usr/share/automake-1.4/config.sub
/usr/share/automake-1.5/config.sub
/usr/share/automake-1.6/config.sub
/usr/share/automake-1.7/config.sub
/usr/share/automake-1.9/config.sub
/usr/share/libtool/config.sub
/usr/share/libtool/libltdl/config.sub

(3) There wasn't any instructions about using the platform version
of ssl and crypto (which fedora ships). I had to do something quite ugly like this:

perl -pi -e \
's(^set SECLIBS_STATIC.+)(set SECLIBS_STATIC = " -lssl -lcrypto ")' source/aimk

I don't have a static version of those libraries around. (most linux users don't!).

(4) same thing with autodetecting the location of the openssl and includes.
I have to do:
perl -pi -e 's(/vol.+?\$buildarch)(/usr);' source/aimk.site

(3), (4) can be fixed and routinely done automatically by many
open-source software with autoconf, etc. ok, at least they can be detailed
in README.BUILD for manual editing. (1) and (2) is just plain-broken.

BTW, the dependency checking also does not seem to work reliably. often
e.g. aimk -only-qmon does not works after aimk depend (dies from not being able
to find some files), sometimes it requires a manual "aimk -only-core" or
some others in the middle. The problem seems intermittent.

The first issue apparently is well-known to the oscar project people -
this is in the SRPMS of sge-V60u8 they ship:
(http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/oscar/branches/branch-5-0/packages/sge/SRPMS)

# The following patch (aimk.patch) removes all "-Werror"
# from the aimk script. Otherwise, the SGE build fails
# after warnings (not errors) when built against
# recent versions of glibc - Babu Sundaram, 04/13/06
Patch4: aimk.patch

I have to strip -Werror as well from my Fedora rpm builds.  I'll attach a list
of all of the warnings I currently get during compilation.

Fixed apart from the config.sub.

Should replace qmake and qtcsh sources with current version plus
SGE patch.

Apparently only the configure issue still outstanding, and only in qmake.
It doesn't stop the build and is best addressed by #832.
