Closed streams-toolkits closed 3 years ago
com.ibm.streamsx.dps/impl/Makefile has commented the ppc specific part and AT compiler is not hard coded with a fixed path, but ppcenv.sh
contains hard-coded path settings to AT compiler.
The Makefile of streamsx.dps has to be corrected. https://github.com/IBMStreams/streamsx.dps/blob/master/Makefile
The Makefile includes the target 'check-compiler' but it is removed from 'all' target. If needed, the user must make an explicit call of the 'check-complier' target.
all: check-streams gen-message ${SUBDIRS:%=%.all}
@ZollnaPa can this issue be closed? or is something missing?
Hi Mark, It is not clear how many customers are running IBM Streams on PPC. It all depends on that factor if we have a need to keep supporting the newer versions of the DPS toolkit in the PPC environment.
It is more a question about have settings in Makefile or outside Makefile, rather than support or not, if I understand the issue correctly.
The ant files provide workaround. There is no impact on customer builds.
The ppc64 & ppc64le machines recommend to use AT compiler, but the fix path setting is not good way to specify the compiler path. It should be set by a CXX variable or by the PATH.
