Thanks for confirming.

Yep, 2.8.6 configures and builds successfully with:
$ CC=cc ./configure
$ make
$ src/nano
Thanks!

Version 2.8.6 should build without problems. Thanks for reporting, and for the testing.

Thanks, John. I've used the info to remove a duplicate include (commit 092174da), but for the rest... the warnings are so abundant that anything that might be useful is drowned out.

-qinfo=all is the closest to -Wall and -Werror, I think, based on web browsing.
-qinfo=all: Enables all diagnostic messages for all groups except als and ppt.
I replaced -Wall with -qinfo=all and rebuilt successfully. I've attached the output (10,000+ lines).

John, does xlC have something like -Werror (which turns warnings into errors)? If yes, then add that option to CFLAGS during ./configure, then the warnings will go away.
Currently, during ./configure you will see: "checking whether C compiler accepts -Wall... yes". If only xlC would reject -Wall instead of politely ignoring it, then ./configure would drop that option and you wouldn't get the warnings.

With earlier builds too. It happens since I'm using IBM's xlC and not gcc. xlC doesn't recognize -Wall.

Thanks for testing, John. Change has been pushed to git, in commit 23f5515f. And thanks for reporting, Henrik.
About the -Wall not being recognized by your compiler: did you get this warning with earlier (regular) nano tarballs too, or just with this testing tarball?

After unpacking your tarball, I was able to run
$ ./configure CC=/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC
$ /usr/bin/make
$ src/nano
^X
successfully.
Note: I still get
/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC: 1501-289 (W) Option -Wall was incorrectly
specified. The option will be ignored.
for every compilation unit.

Hrm, it doesn't want to take a tarball. So... it is here: https://nano-editor.org/dist/test/nano-2.8.5-plus.tar.gz

Okay, I've rolled and attached a one-off tarball, with the patch applied. Please try building that.

I get a similar result (nano 2.8.5, AIX 6.1, using xlC). If I use --disable-threads, I am able to get a working nano.
$ ./configure CC=/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC

Moving ahead, I applied the patch:
$ /gnustuff/patch -p1 <add-libthread-for-linking.patch
patching file src/Makefile.am
$ ./configure CC=/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC
...
$ make
...
cd .. && /bin/sh .../nano-2.8.5/missing automake-1.15 --gnu src/Makefile

WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>
make: The error code from the last command is 127.

I'm not sure why the patch to Makefile.am caused automake to be pulled in when it wasn't needed before. In any case, I have a limited number of gnu tools installed (and I'm not excited about installing more at this point).
Similarly to the OP (Henrik Karlsson), I can build a working nano if I re-run the original command with -lpthread added.

I'm trying to build version 2.8.5.
If I configure with --disable-threads the build succeeds.
Unfortunately I can't run make after applying the patch because automake is not installed on the system. To install it I also need to install perl but I can't because the filesystem /opt has not enough space left and the guy how can help me with that is on vacation...

Which version of nano are you trying to build? Does the build succeed when you configure with --disable-threads?
Without that option and after applying attached patch and running autogen.sh, does the build succeed?

When trying to build nano on AIX 7.2 I get this error:

If I add -lpthread and run gcc manually from the src folder and the run make again it runs ok. Could you please add -lpthread when building nano on AIX?
