Want a simple and free way to send a message to Twitter from your System i? Here you go. I am releasing this as an Open Source release. Please improve on the coding and update this page with your changes.
You will need the AIX binary of cURL from here. You will need version 7.13.1. Once extracted, put the curl object into a folder on the IFS and install. The default installation uses the /usr/local tree, and PASE has /QOpenSys as its base, so I installed my curl in /QOpenSys/usr/local
Install curl
- Download a RISC (Power PC) binary. Use your favourite method to put it somewhere on the IFS. I will use /home/addons for this example
- call qp2term
- cd /home/addons
- uncompress curl.7.13.1.tar.Z (gives curl.7.13.1.tar)
- cd /QOpenSys
- tar xf /home/addons/curl.7.13.1.tar (installs curl in /QOpenSys/usr/local)
- /QOpenSys/usr/local/bin/curl -V (tests it out; should see curl 7.13.1 (powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0)...)
At this point, curl is installed. Press F3 to return to the i command line.
Command processing program
