To be able to use the C for AIX Compiler, a server-side license and
configuration must done as well as a client-side installation. Here are the
steps to achieve this goal.
- madre is the hostname of the AIX server on which to install the C
for AIX Compiler (license and tools)
First, check the necessary AIX filesets (and install them accordingly):
# lslpp -l | egrep "vac|bos.rte |bos.adt.libm" | sort -u
bos.adt.libm 5.3.0.10 COMMITTED Base Application Development
bos.rte 5.3.0.10 COMMITTED Base Operating System Runtime
vac.C 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler
vac.C.readme.ibm 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX iFOR/LS Information
vac.lic 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Licence Files
For simplicity purpose, the same packages will be installed on each of
the server and the client for the C for AIX Compiler.
Note #1: the bos.* filesets can be found in the lpp source
lpp_source530.
Note #2: the vac.* filesets can be found in the lpp source
C_for_AIX_60.
Configuration of the license server: Concurrent Network License Server
Based on information found in the file
/usr/vac/README.password:
Check for the necessary License Use Runtime filesets:
# lslpp -l | egrep "ifor" | sort -u
bos.rte.ifor_ls 5.3.0.0 COMMITTED iFOR/LS Libraries
ifor_ls.base.cli 5.3.0.10 COMMITTED License Use Management Runtime
To configure LUM, perform the following steps (based on the content of
/usr/vac/cforaix_c.lic):
# cd /usr/opt/ifor/ls/os/aix/bin
# ./i4config
/*

The Concurrent Network license certificate is contained in the file
/usr/vac/cforaix_c.lic. To enroll a license certificate:
# cd /usr/opt/ifor/ls/os/aix/bin
# ./i4blt -a \
-v "'IBM Software Solutions Toronto' 5da54a553b4c.02.09.15.31.05.00.00.00 p9gb3ycs6ydpw" \
-p "'C for AIX' '6.0.c' bcmefhz6zkdmdaaxe524si3kbgb2zwxsaqskixs222 " \

# ./i4config
/*
