Compilation problems using gcc 2.95.2 on AIX 4.3.3

Compilation problems using gcc 2.95.2 on AIX 4.3.3

[Venkatakrishnan, V]

Hi,
	I've just built an AIX box running v4.3.3 and have gcc 2.95.2
running.  When I try to compile my code the compiler goes looking for the
system header files like types.h, stdio.h etc. in the
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/2.95.2/include/sys and then
gives me a lot of errors.  Why does it go looking there?  How do I make it
to look under /usr/include/sys ??

Confused :-/

Thanks David, the install of the bos.adt.include fileset gave me all the
header files that I needed.  Sorry 'bout posting this here, but I really
looked around a lot of places and did this as my last resort.  Thanks again,
have a nice day :).

	You should be able to install the header filesets from the AIX 4.3
CDs.  A good fileset to start with is bos.adt.include.  This is an AIX
support question, not a GCC question.

Hi,
	I copied the files under /usr/include from another m/c (an AIX 4.1)
to my AIX 4.3 box ( I know I shudn't do that) and ran the make file.  I got
the following errors...
In file included from intern3.h:2,
                 from block.c:4:

	As you can see this is coz. Sys/inttypes.h does not exist (guess it
wasn't there on the AIX 4.1 m/c), also I dunno why it's talking of parse
errors in stdio.h.
	All in all I guess this is all coz. Of improper header files, can
any AIX user tell me how I can get the right bunch of the system header
files.  If it's available with the AIX 4.3 OS CDs, where is it and how do I
go about installing them.
	Thanks,

Regards,
Venky

What kind of errors ?

>Why does it go looking there?

If I understand correctly the behaviour of gcc, the installation should put 
in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/2.95.2/include/sys some 
header files needed to fix inconsistencies with the system header files.
Note that I'm just guessing. This might be utterly false, actually :-)

>How do I make it to look under /usr/include/sys ??

The GCC ones should be including the system ones, in the end. Assuming you
configured and built gcc on that (or a similar) machine, it 
should look for them automatically.
However, you can specify where to look for header files (see the GCC manual 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/gcc_2.html#SEC11> for the command 
line flags and their meaning).

Hope this helps, someway
