CccafeInstallDatastar

Babel build in this AIX environment (datastar.sdsc.edu, dslogin, dspoe nodes) is rather restricted.

As of 5/2005 babel does not support configuring with mpcc, mpCC, mpxlf compilers.
As of release 0.10.2, mostly nothing relevant works with xlC or xlc either.
With a subversion snapshot (v4643) a similar amount of nothing works.
Both fall apart in sidlx rmi code.
But apparently a libtool gets built and that's sometimes enough for Ccaffeine.
If one tries gcc compilers, the build gets much farther, and then
dies on missing some pthread library while attempting to build the sidl library
or (depending on the configure options) dies sometime around the production or
first use of the babel jar file or an undefined call (malloc!).

The java needed just to configure babel can be found in:
/usr/java14_64/bin, or one of the other jdks: java131/ java13_64/ java14/
You will have to set the java bin directory in you path in your .cshrc/.profile
as it is not there by default.

Babel-libtool can be built and installed
the following clues (your paths may vary). In the environment set:
MAKE=gmake
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
JAVAPREFIX=/usr/java14_64/bin
then
bash ../babel-4643/configure --disable-fortran90 --disable-python --prefix=/users00/sandia/baallan/cca/install/babel-4643 --srcdir=$HOME/cca/build/babel-4643 --without-sidlx --enable-pure-static-runtime
then
gmake install

where the install will fall apart, but after babel-libtool has been placed.
