C Compilers C and C Compilers Managing C and C Compilers The most common question asked is 'Do we need to install C or C?' The person that can best answer that is the Customer. But as a general guideline use the table below to determine the answer.

When using lslpp -l and grep commands to search for the installed compiler file sets, a common mistake is to misinterpret the xlC.aix61.rte or the xlC.aix50.rte. How to install an XL C/C++, C for AIX, or VisualAge C++ compiler or runtime PTF on AIX.

No. No No. No. Customer may require, but must specifically request item. NOTE: For Sun systems you must have SUNWprcc installed, but it does not need to be licensed (MFCobol needs its libraries to compile). C and C on IBM AIX 4.2.1 and above The filesets you will need from the installation cdrom are as follows: General Filesets X11.adt.include X11.adt.lib X11.adt.motif X11.base.rte X11.motif.lib bos.adt.include box.adt.libm C compiler filesets: xlC.C xlC.rte xlC.cpp xlC.msg.enUS.cpp xlC.C.readme.ibm xlC.msg.enUS.C bos.rte.libc C compiler filesets: xlC.C.cmp xlC.C.collect.lib xlC.C.heapview xlC.C.browser xlC.Cascl.lib xlC.C.lib xlC.C.include xlC.C.iclui. XlC.Cipf.enUS.C xlC.info.enUS.C xlC.msg.enUS.C C and C Licenses on IBM AIX You will need to obtain a license for the C or C compilers before they can be used.

This can be done by contacting the IBM Registration Center at 1-800-446-8989. You will be asked for three items. One is Peoplesoft's Customer Number which is 8023786. The second is the systems Target ID, which can be obtained by executing the following command: /usr/lib/netls/bin/lstargetid. And the third is the number of licenses for the product. This should be one, unless the customer has stated otherwise.

The Registration Center will create a nodelock key for the product and email it or FAX it to you along with the instructions on how to update the nodelock file with the key information. Note: For AIX 4.2.1, you do not need to call the IBM Registration Center for a license. The license information is contained in /repos1/IBM/nodelock-aix4.2.1. Append this file to /usr/lib/netls/conf/nodelock. C and C on IBM AIX 4.3.x - using LUM These are some brief notes on installing C/C on AIX 4.3.x.

The compiler fileset ( xlC 3.6.4) uses LUM (License Use Management) instead of nodelock licensing. These notes are just a rough draft and won't cover the entire install process since we haven't done an installation yet. Also, this has been installed on st-ibm07.

According to IBM Support, be sure the following filesets are up-to-date: iforls.client.base This should be at 4.3.1. According to Support, if it's at 4.2.0, it could corrupt the license fileset.The fileset can be installed from the IBM O/S CDROM.

LUM filesets updated to 4.3.1.1 If 'iforls.base.cli' isn't at 4.3.1.1, get the latest from IBM's ftp site: ftp.software.ibm.com Ftp to the site, logging in as 'anonymous', and then cd /software/lum/aix/ark/v4.0.2/v4.0.2. Get all files for 4.3.1.1 and put them on the server. Using smit, install the software. Install the C/C compilers, version 3.6.4, from its own CDROM.

It doesn't come on the O/S CDROM. Run /var/ifor/i4cfg -script to configure the compiler. Run i4blt to install license key and number of licenses to use.

Can also use a script, created by Tex Chalemin, to do this. His scripts should be on /repos1/Ibm, called lic-os-ibm4.3.x-xlC3.6.4.c.sh and lic-os-ibm4.3.x-xlC3.6.4.cn.sh. You may need to create symlinks under /bin to be able to access the C compilers located in /usr/ibmcxx: ln -s /usr/ibmcxx/bin/xlc /bin/cc ln -s /usr/ibmcxx/bin/xlc /bin/xlC. Helpful commands: /var/ifor/i4cfg -stop to stop all licensing daemons /var/ifor/i4cfg -start to start licensing daemons /var/ifor/i4cfg -list to list status of daemons.

To test C compiler: touch foo.cpp xlC foo.cpp (should get a syntax error if working) C Compilers on Sun 'ST' Servers The following are some brief notes on C compiler licenses for st-sun01, st-sun02, and st-sun03. These three servers all talk to each other for the C compiler licensing. They are the Licensing Servers for the 'ST' Unix servers. If one or more of these three servers come up with the licensing in a 'corrupt' state, it hoses up the compiler licensing functionality for all 3 servers. One way a server may come up with licensing in a 'corrupt' state is if the network is down so the server cannot gain access to the nameserver, thereby preventing it from talking to the other 2 license servers.

If one or more of these servers is having C compiler problems, check the following:. Check /tmp/licenselog (may be a directory other than /tmp). If you see 'host unknown' messages, you know the server license daemon cannot talk to the other 2 servers. Do CC -xlicinfo or cc -xlicinfo - if you get information back, along with your prompt, you're probably o.k. If not, you probably have a licensing problem on that server. You may need to bounce the lmgrd daemon on all 3 servers.

There's a startup script under /etc/rc2.d. Then check the licenselog file to be sure all 3 servers are talking to each other. Also do cc -xlicinfo to be sure you get a status and the prompt back. Final Note: Don't ever install temporary licenses keys on any of these 3 servers. It'll totally hose things up. Only Dennis Collver should tell us when to update the license keys on these servers. To install Solaris Forte 6 Update1 C and C Compiler make sure that no other compilers are installed on the system, if they are they must be removed before installing this compiler.

So this should be quite simple but just want to see if I got it right. I am trying to find out what version of xlC compiler is installed on AIX box. I tried xlC -v/xlc -version which is not supported by the compiler. I tried lslpp -L grep xlC I get following output but it confuses me (i am releatively new to UNIX world) xlC.adt.include 8.0.0.0 C F C Set Application xlC.aix50.rte 8.0.0.0 C F C Set Runtime for AIX 5.0 xlC.cpp 6.0.0.0 C F C for AIX Preprocessor xlC.msg.enUS.cpp 6.0.0.0 C F C for AIX Preprocessor xlC.msg.enUS.rte 8.0.0.0 C F C Set Runtime xlC.rte 8.0.0.0 C F C Set Runtime This is list on installed packages on box but whats the significance of listing.cpp file.

And which version is on my box? 6.0 or 8.0 Thanks.

Try lslpp -l grep -i vacpp and check for lines about the C/C Compiler: vacpp.cmp.core 9.0.0.11 APPLIED IBM XL C/C Compiler vacpp.cmp.core 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED IBM XL C/C Compiler This means I have 9.0 installed with a subsequent PTF added. My corresponding xlc version information looks like this:% xlc -qversion=verbose IBM XL C/C Enterprise Edition for AIX, V9.0 Version:.0011 Driver Version: 09.00(C/C) Level: 090810 C Front End Version: 09.00(C/C) Level: 090730 C Front End Version: 09.00(C/C) Level: 090730 High-Level Optimizer Version: 09.00(C/C) and 11.01(Fortran) Level: 090812 Low-Level Optimizer Version: 09.00(C/C) and 11.01(Fortran) Level: 090902 Also the xlc/rte entries you found are for the C/C Runtime, which will depend on the OS version and are not as closely linked to the compiler version. This source of confusion is also mentioned in the link below.
