Portability Information for AIX

AIX is the operating system for some IBM workstations.

FASTLINK ports fine to AIX, but some minor changes to the Makefile are necessary for compilation.

Change 1. Use the xlc compiler, instead of gcc. Change the line 

	CC = gcc
to 
	CC = xlc
Change 2. Uncomment the line 
	SYSDEP = -D_POSIX_SOURCE
Change 3. When compiling the auxiliary program OFM, you will need to provide an additional argument to make. Instead of 
	make ofm
use 
	make ofm EXTRAFLAGS=-D_XOPEN_SOURCE
FASTLINK user, Helge Sachau, has contributed a wonderful document explaining how to port the LINKAGE auxiliary programs to AIX. You can find this document as sachau.ps in the subdirectory aix (under fastlink). Thanks Helge!
