Feedback re: Build on AIX - FYI.

[Michael]

Had a question from a user of the curl package - and I had not realized
I also needed libssh2 to get it to do everything.

So, packaged libssh2 - all seems to be okay (make check succeeded 3 out
of 3).

However, this also has a GNU make dependency - I am guessing due to the
m4 macros that check for changes to Makefile.in, etc.. That is where
"default" make dies.

I also see a frequently recurring warning message.

Cut/paste of the make process...

However, this also has a GNU make dependency - I am guessing due to the m4
macros that check for changes to Makefile.in, etc.. That is where "default"
make dies.

I'm not denying there may be problems. I'm not sure that's because of gnu
makeisms though. We haven't heard any complaints before from people who
normally don't use gnu make, like BSD people. And the makefile has basically
remained like this since a very long time afaicr.

"Makefile", line 980: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double
colon operator.
"Makefile", line 981: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double
colon operator.

Can you show us line 980 and 981 of your generated Makefile?

"../../src/libssh2-1.8.0/src/kex.c", line 195.82: 1506-041 (E) The invocation
of macro _libssh2_debug contains fewer arguments than are required by the
macro definition.

This looks like your compiler has an issue with the _libssh2_debug #define in
libssh2_priv.h.

"../../src/libssh2-1.8.0/src/session.c", line 522.15: 1506-068 (W) Operation
between types "void*" and "void(*)(struct _LIBSSH2_SESSION*,const
char*,int,void**)" is not allowed.

This warning (error?) is hard do fix with our current API. It shows with other
compilers as well.

# ERROR: 0

... so you still managed to build and test everything suceessfully?
