Building perl 5.8.1 on AIX 4.3.3 with ibmcxx
Hi, I want to build and install perl 5.8.1 on AIX 4.3.3 and I have ibmcxx for compiler. I've already done it one time without any optimization parameter and I'm looking to include some (architecture and optimize for exemple)
How could I build my ./configure to have the best build as I can. It should be stable because it would be on many server in prod.
thx

what is your compiler - visualage or xlc ??? is it working i.e. ever bought???
ASKER
the compiler is "ibmcxx".
I've already suceed to compile it, but without any optimisation. I want to compile it again with optimisation for PowerPC and something like -o2 but I don't know how to build my configure command for that

you suggest me to only use opt1 (-o2 for exemple) and no optimisation for the cpu? that's right?
and install bos.adt.samples to see if non-generic code does not use CPU emulator using emstat
./configure --help is your biggest friend when finding where to add what options

"and install bos.adt.samples to see if non-generic code does not use CPU emulator using emstat"
if it happens, do I have something different to do?

Yes - code for more generic cpu will run 100x faster on your exact CPU.
