Re: Support for AIX 7.1

Hello,

The configure script could run without problem (I will send you the config.log, James), but when doing make I get this:

Making all in unittests
Target "all" is up to date.
          /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC    --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../include   -I../../include -DTDS_NO_DM -D_REENTRANT 
-D_THREAD_SAFE -DDEBUG=1 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-long-long -D_THREAD_SAFE  -g -O2 -Wdeclaration-after-statement -MT mem.lo 
-MD -MP -MF .deps/mem.Tpo -c -o mem.lo mem.c
libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../include -I../../include -DTDS_NO_DM -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -DDEBUG=1 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-long-long -D_THREAD_SAFE -g -O2 -Wdeclaration-after-statement -MT mem.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/mem.Tpo -c mem.c -o mem.o
mem.c: In function 'tds_alloc_socket':
mem.c:1070: warning: implicit declaration of function 'socketpair'
mem.c:1070: error: 'AF_UNIX' undeclared (first use in this function)
mem.c:1070: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mem.c:1070: error: for each function it appears in.)
mem.c:1070: error: 'SOCK_DGRAM' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

I have no time to fix the issues, but if you provide me diff patches I am willing to test the compilation on our AIX 7.1 ...

Seb
