[Devel] Problems compiling on AIX 4.3.3

[Ian Brown]

Hello,
        I'm trying to compile freetype2.0.8 on an AIX4.3.3 machine and am
running into some problems. I have built freetype on Solaris 8, Win32 and
Linux with no problem, but the AIX build is causing me a headache.

I have gcc 3.0.1 installed (not my choice, I would have preferred a 2.95
version), and also gmake 3.79.1. See the output below:

% make --version
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0

Everything compiles okay, but there is a problem making the library. It
seems that the libfreetype.a file is created, but then deleted again which
causes ar to fail with a file not found error. I've pasted the final lines
from the build output below.

Has anyone managed to build freetype on this OS configuration?

Thanks for any help,

Ian
