Open Source IBM AIX Build Tools

CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The suite of CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such as ITK and VTK. CMake is part of Kitware’s collection of commercially supported open-source platforms for software development and integrates with CDash to provide a comprehensive suite of tools. CDash is the testing server that aggregates, analyzes, and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world.

PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX and Solaris. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 2.3, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and uses the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility. The main goal of PyInstaller is to be compatible with 3rd-party packages out-of-the-box. This means that, with PyInstaller, all the required tricks to make external packages work are already integrated within PyInstaller itself so that there is no user intervention required. You'll never be required to look for tricks in wikis and apply custom modification to your files or your setup scripts. As an example, libraries like PyQt, Django or matplotlib are fully supported, without having to handle plugins or external data files manually.

JarBuilder is a useful tool for Java programmers. It allows one to easily create jar files. JarBuilder is written in Java providing a nice Swing GUI.

Gobisoft is a batch package builder for applications, it builds a self-install package of your programs. Creates a stand alone executable file that performs the (secured installation and removing) of the elements necessary to distribute your applications. The software offers many possibilities, such as executing commands before and after installation.

A collection of build tools, scripts, and AIX packages to build open source packages in AIX's native package format (installp aka bff).

A framework for highly customisable e-commerce: A system for automatically build an e-commerce interface supporting product´s contraints and properties.

Python Editor for Eclipse (Pe4elcipse) is an Eclipse platform plugin for editing and debugging Python applications.

SlickDeploy provides deployment process management for J2EE Applications on IBM WebSphere Application Server through open framework that helps developers and system administration teams standardise and automate tasks.

BUILDAIX is a set of scripts that largely automate compiling and packaging software as AIX LPP (installp format). The single command "buildaix" orchestrates the configure, make, and mkinstallp commands needed to create an installable LPP (or filesets). (in other words - buildaix does not create RPM packages) This package (helps) automates the building of standard OpenSource projects as an AIX LLP image/fileset that can be installed/uninstalled using the AIX command 'installp'. The LPP package is placed in the Project tree in ${BASE}/installp/ppc. The template created, as well as log files are stored in ${BASE}/build/aix.

cstem is a portable toolkit for probing and testing C/C++ system. It consist of 4 scripts: cprobe, cltest, cppdef, mkdep. cstem scripts can be used standalone or as part of software build systems. All scripts are portable and have no dependencies. See wiki for more information and examples.
