Are there posibilties to create binarys from source when we do not have a AIX environment?
YES. First install 5799-PTL, gnucc (and/or vac++): then you can build (almost) everything from (open)sources.
For example on our 890 V5R3 we recently built binaries for libtiff, libjpeg, libpng, leptonlib, jbig2, python and gnupg.
Other binaries like ghostscript for example can be downloaded and execuded immediately.
But we encountered a lot of problems; for example a gnu version was fine for a compile but failed for another, some modules (like "snprintf") were missing and had to be installed and compiled separately (and the original source had to be modified accordingly), and other minor problems.
Some opensource can also be ported directly in native CLE. For example zip and libtiff can run fine in native environment, but in this case you have to write yourself the ebcdic/ascii conversion when needed.
Good luck !!Giuseppe.
