RE: Wine source build on AIX/PowerPC failing

[Mahin Pandya]

Thanks André & Stefan. Tried using both repo but facing issue to build on AIX which is CPU type as POWERPC, got errors in "make" due to assembler "as" (which is native) in AIX, opcode is not recognized.

bash-5.0$ tools/winebuild/winebuild -v -w --implib -o dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.a --export dlls/ucrtbase/ucrtbase.spec dlls/ucrtbase/crt_gccmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_main.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_winmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_wmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_wwinmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/mathf.o dlls/ucrtbase/printf.o
/usr/bin/as -o ucrtbase.I7tD9N.o dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s
Assembler:
dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s: line 1: 1252-016 The specified opcode or pseudo-op is not valid.
 Use supported instructions or pseudo-ops only.
dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s: line 4: 1252-211 Invalid relocation type: function.
...

So looks like it need change in utils.c (many more files) or may be GNU assembler helps.

Content of " libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s":
.text
.align 2
 .type _Cbuild,@function
 .globl _Cbuild
 .hidden _Cbuild
_Cbuild:
 .long __wine$func$ucrtbase$1$_Cbuild
 .size _Cbuild, .-_Cbuild
 .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits

Hello,

Let's leave Hangover aside and just try to build this tag: https://github.com/AndreRH/wine/releases/tag/ppc64le-6.10
