Install cffi on AIX 7.1

[Oscar Pacheco]

Hello

I tried to install cffi on AIX 7.1 using xlc_r and gcc with this last one I got the following error

root@test[../python/] /opt/freeware/bin/pip install cffi

Collecting cffi

  Using cached cffi-1.10.0.tar.gz

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qmaxmem=16384'

    gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qmaxmem=16384'

        No working compiler found, or bogus compiler options

        passed to the compiler from Python's distutils module.

        See the error messages above.

        (If they are about -mno-fused-madd and you are on OS/X 10.8,

        see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22313407/ .)

    ----------------------------------------

Is there anything that I need to modify ?

I installed the packages from perl site

Thanks in advance !

The error sounds generic: on your particular platform, you might get
the very same error with any ``setup.py`` for any other package when
trying to call the C compiler.

I would recommend looking around general Python forums like
https://wiki.python.org/moin/CompLangPython or the IRC channel
"#python" on irc.freenode.net.


A bientôt,

Armin.
