RFR(S): 8155236: AIX: fix detection of Xrender extension

[REIX, Tony]

Hi Volker,

I'm managing the BullFreeware web-site, which provides LPPs for AIX.
http://bullfreeware.com/toolbox.php

Notice that AIX 5.3 is no more maintained.

I'm interested in having an idea about which LLPs the port of OpenJDK on AIX is using.
Do you link with libX11 ? GTK+ ? Glib2 ? other LPP packages ?

Thx/Regards,

Tony Reix

Hi,

can somebody please review this AIX-only fix which I've found in one
of my old patch queues :)

On AIX we have to use a special syntax for the dlopen() string
argument because the shared libraries are packed in multi-architecture
archives. We first try to load the system default libXrender which is
contained in the 'X11.base.lib' fileset starting with AIX 6.1.

If the latter wasn't successful, we also try to load the version under
/opt/freeware. This may be downloaded from the "AIX Toolbox for Linux
Applications" even for AIX 5.3.

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
