The approach how packages can be installed on system may differ. This document list just one the ways how to get system working.

For test purposes we will prepare new user for which Enduro/X will built (this adds the in the path the /opt/freeware/bin and xlC version 13 compiler. You may modify that of your needs.

# useradd -m user1
# su - user1

$ bash
$ cat << EOF >> .profile
PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.:/opt/freeware/bin:/opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.3/bin
EOF
$ chmod +x .profile
$ source .profile
$ cd /home/user1
$ GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://github.com/endurox-dev/endurox
$ cd endurox
$ git config http.sslVerify "false"

This code bellow creates ndrx_home executable file which loads basic environment, so that you can use sample configuration provided by Enduro/X in sampleconfig directory. This also assumes that you are going to install to $HOME/endurox/dist folder. The file bellow will override the sample configuration.

$ cat << EOF > $HOME/ndrx_home
#!/bin/bash

# Where app domain lives
export NDRX_APPHOME=/home/user1/endurox
# Where NDRX runtime lives
export NDRX_HOME=/home/user1/endurox/dist/bin
# Debug config too
export NDRX_DEBUG_CONF=/home/user1/endurox/sampleconfig/debug.conf

# NDRX config too.
export NDRX_CONFIG=/home/user1/endurox/sampleconfig/ndrxconfig.xml

# Access for binaries
export PATH=$PATH:/$HOME/endurox/dist/bin

# LIBPATH for .so
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:$HOME/endurox/dist/lib64

# UBF/FML field tables
export FLDTBLDIR=$HOME/endurox/ubftest/ubftab

EOF

$ chmod +x $HOME/ndrx_home

It is assumed that xlC is default compiler on the system, thus following shall make the building ok:

$ export OBJECT_MODE=64
$ export CC=xlc
$ export CXX=xlC
$ cd /home/user1/endurox
$ cmake -DDEFINE_DISABLEPSCRIPT=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEDOC=ON\
      -DDEFINE_DISABLEGPGME=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/dist .
$ make
$ make install

Note that we use in above snippet a exported compiler variables (CC, CXX), this is due to bug in CMake 3.9 where xlC is not detected correctly. See: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-install-config-apache-subversions/index.html

If you previously have installed gcc (C/C++) compiler open source package. Then you can build Enduro/X with GCC compiler. To prepare for GCC build, do following steps:

$ cd /home/user1/endurox
$ export OBJECT_MODE=64
$ export CC=gcc
$ export CXX=g++
$ export CFLAGS=-maix64
$ export CXXFLAGS=-maix64
$ cmake -DDEFINE_DISABLEPSCRIPT=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEDOC=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEGPGME=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/dist .
$ make
$ make install

$ cd /home/user1/endurox/sampleconfig
$ source setndrx
$ cd /home/user1/endurox/ubftest
$ ./ubfunit1 2>/dev/null

ATMI testing might take some time. Also ensure that you have few Gigabytes of free disk space, as logging requires some space. Also for AIX there are small default limits of max file size. It is recommended to increase it to some 10 GB or so. To run the ATMI tests do following:

$ cd /home/user1/endurox/atmitest
$ nohup ./run.sh &
$ tail -f /home/user1/endurox/atmitest/test.out
...
************ FINISHED TEST: [test028_tmq/run.sh] with 0 ************

Completed "main": 28 passes, 0 failures, 0 exceptions.

You may experience issues with libxml2 version between free-ware and AIX system provided. The error looks like:

$ ./cpmsrv
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./cpmsrv because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a(libxml2.shr_64.o) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member libxml2.shr_64.o is not found in archive

It seems that linker is using /ccs/lib/libxml2.a but at runtime picks up /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a. One way to solve this is to replace freeware version with system provided file. That could be done in following way:

# cd /opt/freeware/lib
# mv libxml2.a backup.libxml2.a
# ln -s /usr/ccs/lib/libxml2.a .

To switch the compilers, it is recommended to clean up CMake cached files before doing configuration for other compiler, for example (switching from xlC to GCC):

$ rm -rf CMakeCache.txt Makefile CMakeFiles/
$ export OBJECT_MODE=64
$ export CC=gcc
$ gcc
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
$ export CXX=g++
$ export CFLAGS=-maix64
$ export CXXFLAGS=-maix64
$ cmake -DDEFINE_DISABLEPSCRIPT=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEDOC=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEGPGME=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/dist .

On AIX 6.1 there with gcc version 4.8.3 works on with thread flag. However, it looks like On AIX 7.1 with the same gcc version thread local storage is not working. The symptoms are that various test cases fail, for example test028 (tmqueue). While this happens it is recommended to use xlC compiler.
