Pyinstaller on AIX

[Bruce Van Horn]

I'm trying to install pyinstaller on aix.  When I use pip (python 3) to install it, it tells me the bootloader couldn't be built, then it says to try to build it manually.

Building it manually yields a set of errors:

../../src/pyi_path.c: In function 'pyi_path_join':

../../src/pyi_path.c:143:5: error: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]

     strncpy(result, path1, strlen(path1));

         strncat(result, path2, len - 2);

I'm not a C++ programmer, but I took a stab at it and changed strncpy to just strcpy, strncat to strcat, etc.  It didn't work (probably obvious to all you C++ programmers).

Is there a way to install pyinstaller on AIX?  It does say it's supported on the pyinstaller web site.
