-Some notes for the AIX port
-===========================
-
-1. Known problems
------------------
-
-There are the following known problems on AIX:
-
-
-1) Shared libraries / embedded perl
-
-Up to (and including) net-snmp 5.4, configure forced a static build
-on AIX which caused embedded Perl to be disabled as well.
-
-Starting with net-snmp 5.4.1, we build shared libraries by default on AIX
-(like on any other platform) using run-time linking. configure forces the
-use of the required "-brtl" linker flag. We also recommend
-
- ./configure --enable-as-needed ...
-
-for proper libperl linking.
-
-2) "grep: capacity exceeded" or "sed: Command line is too long" during configure
-
-The version of "grep" shipped with AIX versions up to (and including) 5.1
-has a known limitation of only supporting a maximum of 2048 characters per line.
-This may cause a significant number of "grep: capacity exceeded" errors during
-configure which breaks the build. See bug 1367794 for details. The fix is to
-either install GNU grep (and have it in PATH before the AIX grep) or to upgrade
-to AIX 5.2 or later.
-
-There's a similar issue with AIX /usr/bin/sed up to at least AIX 5.3 that
-causes a significant number of "sed: Command line is too long." errors during
-configure. The fix is to install GNU sed.
-
-3) nlist errors with 64-bit kernels
-
-Accessing certain MIB objects on AIX 5.x machines running a 64-bit kernel will
-trigger nlist/klookup errors. Starting from net-snmp 5.4, you can avoid those
-by using
-
- ./configure --without-kmem-usage ...
-
-
-4) IPv6
-
-Starting with net-snmp 5.4 you can enable the UDPIPv6 and TCPIPv6 transports
-on AIX 5.x:
-
- ./configure --enable-ipv6
-
-There's no support for the IPv6 MIBs, though.
-
-5) Compiler for Perl
-
-In general, Perl modules need to be compiled with the same compiler and
-compiler options as Perl itself. configure detects some mismatches (gcc vs.
-vendor compiler), but treats different incarnations of the same compiler type
-as similar. If your version of Perl (e.g. the one supplied by IBM for AIX 5.x)
-has been compiled with cc_r on AIX, please make sure you also use CC=cc_r when
-building net-snmp. Building with xlc in this case is known to fail (see bug
-#1600099).

-2. Patches
-----------
-
-You may want to have a look for existing AIX patches in our patches tracker
-(http://www.net-snmp.org/patches/). If you can offer patches yourself to
-improve the AIX support, please submit them there.
-
-
-3. Feedback
------------
-
-Please also see README and PORTING.
-
-If you have questions, additional insights or (even better) patches regarding
-net-snmp on AIX, please refer to the net-snmp mailing lists (see
-http://www.net-snmp.org/lists).
