Build Notes You will need the gcc compiler which can be downloaded from the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications. (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/p/os/aix/linux) Will will also need the openssl-0.9.8 installp fileset available from AIX. It is available on the AIX Expansion pack and also can be found on the following web site: http://sourceforge.net. After installing the openssl fileset make sure you run /usr/sbin/updtvpkg to update RPM's reflection of what is installed. Download conserver-8.1.16.tar.gz from http://www.conserver.com/. Copy the gz file to /opt/freeware/src/packages/SOURCES. Also copy certificate-auth.patch to /opt/freeware/src/packages/SOURCES. This patch file is provided in the Linux conserver directory of the xCAT SVN repository. Copy the conserver.spec file to /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS. Download and install the "patch" command from "http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/p/os/aix/linux/toolbox/download.html". The "patch" command that comes with AIX (including AIX 6.1) is an older version which only supports standard "diff" format patches. The conserver patch is NOT in standard "diff" format. The new "patch" command will be installed in "opt/freeware/bin", so prior to building the conserver RPM, put the new "patch" command at the front of the path (i.e. "export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH ). Run "rpm -bb conserver.spec", which creates: /opt/freeware/src/packages/RPMS/ppc/conserver-8.1.16-2.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
