Sam, I am still not able to get a working Courier build on AIX. I have actually got it to compile completely, only to have make check fail in $couriersrc/rfc822. I have attached a list of changes I have made, in the hopes that they may help others and that you may
look over the changes and see if I got something wrong.

Issues I am working on that may help: How can I get configure to detect the HAVE_STRINGS_H properly for AIX? Will this
help make check pass?

I have invested a lot of time to get this far. I would really like to use the
complete Courier package, rather than Qmail+Courier-Imap or using this AIX system as an NFS server for a RedHat box running Courier. Sorry Sam, I am a sysadmin and a
mail server admin, not a C programmer, or maybe I could get further with this.

Thanks for your work making the Courier program and for any help you can give
me.

___________________________________________________________ Changes log

I have found that setting these environment variables is necessary for
compilation on AIX using the native xlC compiler.

export CXX=xlC CFLAGS="-qcpluscmt" \ CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L /usr/local/lib" ./configure --enable-mimetypes=/usr/HTTPServer/conf

This compensates for the xlC invocation of the C++ compiler, which configure
cannot detect. It also compensates for many .c files that have C++ style comments in them, which the IBM compiler treats as a fatal error. IBM's HTTP server keeps
its mime.types file in an unusual location, so the --enable mimetypes tells configure where to find it.

$couriersrc/afx vi Makefile search for -Dinline=__inline, replace with -DHAVE_STRINGS_H vi afxtempl.h search for CStringTok, change smart=false to /*smart=false*/

$couriersrc/soxwrap vi soxwrapproto.h insert: #include <sys/time.h> at line 3

files with c++ comments, used compiler option to fix.
