[naemon-dev] successfully compiled naemon on AIX7.2

[André Born]

Hi,

naemon on linux works great, thanks for all that.
we are running some AIX hosts so we compiled naemon for AIX.
it took a long time and hard debugging until we got it running on AIX without dumping all the time.
i want to give back our findings to the community.

i hope you will check the patches and let it be integrated, so other can run naemon on AIX…

Using Prereqs:
 
gcc-8.1.0-2.ppc
