[CMake] cmake 2.8.12.2 fails on AIX 6.1 with "ld: target noipath not found"

[Graham Russell]

Thanks for the response, Bill.

I confirmed that the compiler install works fine:
pvm-vangogh-94:grussell [625] /usr/local/bin/gcc  hello.c -o hello pvm-vangogh-94:grussell [626] ./hello Hello World!

I also tested it with your simple program and it also compiles OK and runs.

I think the problem lies in the options that CMake uses to test the AIX compile environment.

Thanks
Graham Russell

This is not a CMake problem.  Your compiler install is bad.

CMake is testing the compile of a very simple .c file and it is not work.

I suspect that a simple program like this:

int main() { return 0;}

will not compile and link with the /usr/local/bin/gcc on your system.

Create the above file and try to compile it without cmake and just gcc. 
  It should get the same error.  I would suggest that you reinstall gcc on the machine.
