Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bob Booth (c9040op) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: gaim under AIX 5.2 no protocols listed Initial Comment: gaim 1.5 compiles/links with no problems under AIX 5.2 with vac and gcc. When you start gaim, it shows my userid for AIM and ICQ with (unknown) next to it. The account editor pulldown for protocols is empty. All protocols compile and link, and are installed in the /usr/local/lib/gaim directory. They are all loadable, and a gaim -d shows that the plugins are all 'probed' with no errors listed. I have tried static and dynamic linking. gaim 1.1.3 did the same thing. Anything I can do to help find out what the problem is? Been stuck on 059 for too long. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Booth (c9040op) Date: 2005-10-26 12:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1367745 I will make some attempts at providing patches. I will even go so far as to provide an AIX platform for a developer if that is desired. Feel free to contact me, I am happy to get AIX on the list of supported platforms! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-10-26 12:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 that was really just a guess attempt, apparently gaim's ability to load plugins is limited or non-existant under AIX, perhaps a solvable problem, perhaps not. Its hard to say since no developer has access to an AIX system. Right now our support for compiling statically is nearly non-existant, while you can do so for the protocol plugins themselves, the other plugins do not have this option, something that creates problems for MSN and (sometimes) jabber, where the ssl support comes in the form of a plugin. Patches are welcome. more ideal though, would be to figure out why the loader isn't playing nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Booth (c9040op) Date: 2005-10-26 12:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1367745 I went back and started over with xlc after seeing your comment here, and indeed --with-static-prpls=oscar cures the problem, after getting over some compilation hurdles! thank you. I assume that I also have to compile all the plugins as static as well? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-10-25 14:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 abandoning the idea of compiling them as plugins for now (which won't work for msn or jabber, but lets focus on AIM/ICQ for now), when you attempted to compile them in statically, you used something along the lines of ./configure --with-static-prpls=oscar correct? the --with-static-prpls option needs to be given a list of what protocols to compile in statically, otherwise it doesn't really change anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1337688&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
