We are trying to build bdb 4.3.28 on AIX, 5.3, xlC_r 3.6.4 version,
and we get a strange error. We need large file support. Pls help.

-D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -O2 ../dist/../db/db_method.c
xlC_r -c -I. -I../dist/.. -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -O2
.../dist/../db/db_method.c -DPIC -o .libs/db_method.o

"/usr/include/sys/thread.h", line 875.36: 1506-310 (I) The type "struct
thread_credentials" was introduced in a parameter list, and will go out
of scope at the end of the function declaration or definition.

"../dist/../db/db_method.c", line 214.14: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member of "struct __db".
"../dist/../db/db_method.c", line 238.14: 1506-022 (S) "stat64" is not
a member of "struct __db".

thanks & regards

Hi Ragda,

This is caused by AIX redefining stat and truncate to
stat64/truncate64. The workaround is to edit the db.h file generated
by configure and add this line with the #includes near the top:

#include <unistd.h>

This change has been made in Berkeley DB 4.4, which compiles out of the
box on AIX 5.3.

Regards,
Michael.
