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!

uuid-config

UUID-CONFIG(1)						   Universally Unique Identifier					    UUID-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       uuid-config - OSSP uuid API build utility

VERSION

       OSSP uuid 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008)

SYNOPSIS

       uuid-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir]
       [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

DESCRIPTION

       The uuid-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the uuid(3) library.	It can be
       used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the uuid(3) library.

OPTIONS

       uuid-config accepts the following options:

       --help
	 Prints the short usage information.

       --version
	 Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library.

       --all
	 Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not OSSP uuid specific.

       --prefix
	 Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files

       --exec-prefix
	 Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.

       --bindir
	 Prints the installation directory of binaries.

       --libdir
	 Prints the installation directory of libraries.

       --includedir
	 Prints the installation directory of include headers.

       --mandir
	 Prints the installation directory of manual pages.

       --datadir
	 Prints the installation directory of shared data.

       --acdir
	 Prints the installation directory of autoconf data.

       --cflags
	 Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the uuid(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS
	 uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

       --ldflags
	 Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the
	 LDFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

       --libs
	 Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the C uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the
	 LIBS uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

EXAMPLE

	CC	= cc
	CFLAGS	= -O `uuid-config --cflags`
	LDFLAGS = `uuid-config --ldflags`
	LIBS	= -lm `uuid-config --libs`

	all: foo
	foo: foo.o
	    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
	foo.o: foo.c
	    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
