sox_ng wiki - Distro-AIX


Distro AIX

AIX does not package SoX but has some peculiarities.

Build dependeencies

On AIX 7.1, most of the build dependencies fail:

configure.ac:9: warning: macro 'AM_DISABLE_STATIC' not found in library
configure.ac:36: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /usr/bin/m4

even though I have the latest m4 installed in ~/bin and ~/bin is the first in $PATH.

libao

libao fails with a compilation error in src/ao_aix.c.

The attached patch fixes this in libao.

file

file (for libmagic)’s configure fails saying it can’t find pkg-config.

With pkg-config installed, the build fails saying

ld: ERROR: Undefined symbol: .getopt_long

which is odd because file correctly detects the lack of getopt, has its own built-in getopt_long and src/getopt_long.lo is built.

opusfile

Compilation fails saying

rc/http.c: In function 'op_http_conn_start_tls':
src/http.c:1944:5: warning: ISO C forbids nested functions [-Wpedantic]
 1944 |         int                                ip_len;
            |         ^~~
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/tcp.h:115,
                                 from src/http.c:345:
src/http.c:1944:24: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '.' token
 1944 |         int                                ip_len;
src/http.c:1944:24: error: expected expression before '.' token
src/http.c:1949:5: error: 'ip_ff' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'ip_fv'?
 1949 |         ip_len=0;

because /usr/include/netinet/ip-h contains

#define    ip_len    ip_ff.ip_flen

The solution is to edit src/http.c to change all ip_len to iplen.

Now fixed in mainline opusfile 2024–09–15 as commit 3ecc22a.

libvorbis-1.3.7

./configure --prefix=$HOME && make fails saying

    CCLD         libvorbisfile.la
    ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .rintf
    ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .floor

but autoreconf -i && ./configure && make works.
