Compilation (V3.5.4/3.6.1)

AIX >=5.2, xlC >=6

1. In config/config.guess higher AIX versions should be enabled:

      *:AIX:*:[4567]
   

2. In dcmjpls/libcharls/lltraits.h modify

      #if (defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER <= 1200) || defined(__xlC__)
   

3. in ofstd/include/dcmtk/ofstd/offile.h modify:

      #if defined(EXPLICIT_LFS_64) && ! defined(__MINGW32__) && ! defined(__xlC__)
   

   in all #if branches where tmpfile64 is referred to (doesn't exist on AIX).
   Furthermore, in dcmimgle/include/dcmtk/dcmimgle/diinpxt.h, dcmimgle/include/dcmtk/dcmimgle/discalet.h remove/outcomment the static keyword from the function declarations, e.g.:

      /*static*/ inline Uint8 expandSign(const Uint8 Value,
   

4. In ofstd/libsrc/ofthread.cc modify

      #elif defined(HAVE_THREAD_H) && defined(HAVE_SYNCH_H) && ! defined(_AIX)
   

   otherwise the compilation would erroneously choose the Solaris branch (thread.h and synch.h exist on AIX as well)
5. In config/Makefile.def.in modify

      TRASH = *~ *.bak core
   

   (otherwise the #-sign will confuse).
6. In dcmwlm/data/Makefile.in remove -maxdepth=1, this option does not exist for the find command.
7. Then:

                # configure doesn't handle multiple items correctly, thus:
      export LDFLAGS="-L/bio/local/lib -ljbig -llzma -liconv"
                # if previously configured, cleanup everything:
      make distclean
      configure --prefix=/tmp/dcmtk-3.6.1 CC=cc CFLAGS="-O2" CXX=xlC CXXFLAGS="-O2" --enable-threads=posix
                # additional options, for example: 
                --with-openssl --with-opensslinc=/bio/local/openssl-1.0.0d
                --with-zlib    --with-zlibinc=/bio/local/zlib-1.2.3
                --with-libtiff --with-libtiffinc=/bio/local/tiff-v3.5.7
                --with-libpng  --with-libpnginc=/bio/local/libpng-1.2.8
                --with-libxml  --with-libxmlinc=/bio/local/libxml2-2.7.8
   

8. In config/Makefile.def modify

   INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install -c -g biodev
   

   i.e. tell the build system which installer to use and give a valid group name to avoid installation as root.
9. Then:

      make clean
      make
      make install
