#48 Perl Access on HP-UX and other UNIX platforms

[Anonymous]

STAF 3.0 Beta 7

I am trying to get the PLSTAF to run on HP-UX. I am
using perl 5.8.3 HP build and I got the
PLSTAFServiceHelper module to build but it does not
run because of undefined symbols. It is unclear which
libraries I need to include to make PLSTAF run.

1) Which libraries does PLSTAF need to in order to run?

2) Has anyone made PLSTAF run on an UNIX style
machine other than Linux? I am currently looking for
HP-UX but I will need Solaris and AIX shortly as well.

Thanks for any help!

There are a couple additional environment variables you need
to set (that are not yet documented in the Developer's Guide):

PERL_V58_XSUBPP ?= $(PERL_V58_ROOT)/bin/xsubpp
PERL_V58_TYPEMAP ?= $(PERL_V58_ROOT)/lib/5.8.3/ExtUtils

So far we only have built/run PLSTAF on Linux.

STAF Perl support is now provided for the following Unix operating systems:
- Linux (Intel 32-bit, aka i386 or x86-32)
- Linux (AMD64, aka x86-64)
- AIX 5.3+ (32-bit)
- Solaris 10+ (Sparc 32-bit)
- Solaris 10+ (Sparc 64-bit)
- Mac OS X 10.4+ (i386, PPC)
- Mac OS X 10.6+ (Universal binary with support for i386, x86_64, and ppc)

But, not for HP-UX.

See the STAF Perl User's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFPerl.htm for more information on thet supported version of Perl.
