Cannot compile/install gnu program
Hello,

I'm trying to install ansifilter which is a program that translates ansi text to HTML.
The idea is to install it on AIX 7.1 but is failing. All de appropriate gcc libraries and requirements for this software were installed successfully, but when I do the gmake I get the following error:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
g++ arg_parser.o stringtools.o cmdlineoptions.o main.o platform_fs.o codegenerator.o htmlgenerator.o texgenerator.o latexgenerator.o rtfgenerator.o plaintextgenerator.o bbcodegenerator.o elementstyle.o stylecolour.o preformatter.o -o ansifilter
collect2: fatal error: crtcxa.o: cannot open as COFF file
compilation terminated.
gmake: *** [ansifilter] Error 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Below is the content of the makefile:


####################################################
# Simple Makefile for ANSIFilter
# This file will compile the ansifilter binary.
# See INSTALL for instructions.

CC=g++

CFLAGS= -c -Wall -O2

LDFLAGS=

SOURCES=arg_parser.o stringtools.o cmdlineoptions.o main.o platform_fs.o\
codegenerator.o htmlgenerator.o texgenerator.o latexgenerator.o rtfgenerator.o\
plaintextgenerator.o bbcodegenerator.o elementstyle.o stylecolour.o preformatter.o

OBJECTS=$(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)
EXECUTABLE=ansifilter

all: $(SOURCES) $(EXECUTABLE)

$(EXECUTABLE): $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $@

.cpp.o:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

clean:
@rm -f *.o
@rm -f ./ansifilter
@rm -f ./ansifilter_gui
@rm -f ./.deps/*
####################################################


Any ideas?
Does this error means that AIX is lacking of something to open this COFF/XCOFF file?

Also please note that crtcxa.o does not exist on the source package of this program so I'm not sure from where it is coming from.

Thanks!

cxref-cpp

cxref-cpp(1)						      General Commands Manual						      cxref-cpp(1)

NAME

       cxref-cpp - A modified C preprocessor to use with cxref.

SYNOPSIS

       cxref-cpp ...

DESCRIPTION

       To  improve  the  output  that  is available for the source code for cross-referencing a modified version of the GNU CPP v2.7.2 is supplied
       (named cxref-cpp).

       This modified C preprocessor allows for a finer control over some features of the preprocessing that are not important for a compiler.	In
       a  standard  preprocessor, the preprocessor directives are intended for use only by the preprocessor, so passing the information through is
       not important.

       With cxref-cpp, there are some features that are different to the standard GNU CPP:

	      Compared to gcc versions earlier than version 2.8.0 there is an extra option that will output the #include  lines  from  the  source
	      file.  In version 2.8.0 and later this option is present.

	      Comments	trailing  a  #include  or  a  #define are not preserved by all versions of gcc even if the -C option is used.  This is not
	      important while compiling, but is useful for documenting.

	      The cxref-cpp program will take on the personality of the installed version of gcc so that the gcc header files can be parsed.  This
	      means  that it includes the same default include directory paths and macro definitions.  The file that contains these definitions is
	      called cxref-cpp.defines and is installed by the cxref-cpp-configure program or specified by  the  -cxref-cpp-defines  command  line
	      option.

OPTIONS

       The same as for gcc, apart from '-cxref-cpp-defines' described above.
