18and run:

20build/aix/buildaix.ksh
21
22An AIX fileset named $PKG.$NAME.$ARCH.$VERSION.I will be
23created in the build/aix directory. the .template file created is also there.

25KNOWN issues:
26on AIX libtool is known to have issues with the install command.
27Some of these issues have been resolved by extracting the apr/apu utilities
28from the projects (i.e. NOT using the embedded version)
29In case of problems I recommend that you install the GNU 'install' program (part of coreutils)
30If make DESTDIR=$TEMPDIR install command continues to fail, try 'make install' and then run
31the buildaix.ksh command again
