Hi all,

I'm trying to compile HYPHY on a nice powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 with lots of nodes to take advantage of parallelization, but there seems to be a problem with library versions:

Error during compilation

----

It seems that the if's in line 11 and 16 fail, then tries to use gcc instead of xlc.

Later, it fails with mvwprintw function: don't know if it is a version problem or what.

This computer has a:

/usr/local/gcc3.3.4/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/3.3.4/include/curses.h

... instead of the gcc3.1 version.

Will the compilation improve with gcc3.3.4 version?

Does hyphy depends on a specific version of curses, curl, ssl, crypto, pthread and/or mpi/mpich.

Thanks in advance,

   Albert.

Dear Albert,

I have successfully compiled HyPhy on an AIX machine using xlc, but the current build script doesn't support it and the source needs to be #ifdefed in 2 or 3 places for xlc to accept it. I will modify the scripts and insert appropriate ifdefs and get back to you later today.

Cheers,
Sergei

Dear Albert,

I have updated the build.sh script to compile out of the box on an AIX machine with xlC (32 bit mode - no noticeable difference in performance with 64 bit in my testing). Download the latest version and run
$bash build.sh MPI

or

$bash build.sh MP2

Let me know if this works.

Cheers,
Sergei

The AIX is still not recognized in lines 12 and 17 but I could manually tweak build.sh to a build.sh.aix.mpi.

I'm having some strange xlC troubles with some of the files like batchlan.cpp and likefunc.cpp:

Only this prompt appears:

xlC: 1501-224 fatal error in /usr/vac/exe/ipa: signal 24 received

...still investigating.

BTW: there are 2 or 3 warning that pop up with xlC that may be easily fixed initializing the vars:

Dear Albert,

Try calling $bash build.sh instead of $sh build.sh. Older 'sh' versions may not like the string comparison '==' syntax. Try to replace == with -eq (might be more compatible) and see if that works.

batchlan.cpp and likefunc.cpp have large functions which xlC may need loads of memory to optimize at -O5. Try -O3 (or -O2) instead maybe?

My xlC gives me the same warnings; I checked the code to make sure those weren't bugs, which they aren't; all the warnings are in legacy functions that no longer are used in the main code, and should be pruned out - I am going to do that in the next maintenance release.

Best,
Sergei
