Nice ;)

and line #276 of /boost/asio/error.hpp #elif defined(__MACH__) && defined(__APPLE__) || defined(_AIX) But still errors related to gethostbyaddr_r() and gethostbyname_r() crop up. Please let know if I can continue to work on this and if possible get a resolution.

If you can try 0.3.8 you might find this error goes away, because gethostbyaddr_r and gethostbyname_r are only required if getaddrinfo and getnameinfo are unavailable or don't work correctly. As far as I can tell by googling, these last two functions are available on AIX.

Cheers, Chris

With asio 0.3.8 and the above mentioned hack ( __ss_family ) I was able to build the daytime_client on AIX without any errors/issues. I had to make some changes to avoid some warnings (AIX specific): 1. boost/asio/detail/task_io_service.hpp // Helper class to perform task-related operations on block exit. //class task_cleanup is already declared on line:341 //class task_cleanup; //friend class task_cleanup; 2.boost/asio/error.hpp removed #include <cerrno> since the same is being included by #include <boost/cerrno.hpp>. 3.boost/asio/detail/posix_fd_set_adapter.hpp //as suggested by you using namespace std; FD_ZERO(&fd_set_); Regards, Gaurav DISCLAIMER: This message contains privileged and confidential information and is intended only for an individual named.
