RE: [Wrapper-user] Re: HP-UX libwrapper.so fails to load

[Andreas W. <And...@ei...>]

Eric,

I'm not the maintainer of the HP-UX build but I'm currently working with =
Leif to port the Wrapper to a more generic build system to get around =
potential OS version and architecture quirks (perhaps by using libtool).
As I read from the libtool mailing list this morning, they have some =
trouble with HP-UX too (see =
http://www.mail-archive.com/li...@gn.../msg04276.html).
HP switched to allow ELF-64bit libraries on HP-UX 11.x and higher. This =
is true for both the PA2.0 and Intel's ia64 architectures and has the =
extension .so. On older PA-RISC systems, only the so-called SOM-32bit =
library format is available. This has the extension .sl.
The makefile for HP-UX uses gcc as a linker, which seems to be capable =
of only building ELF-64 shared libraries (according to one libtool guy). =
If you want to build SOM-32 shared libraries, you need to use HP's =
linker ld (and better also the compiler cc).
If you like, I am able to provide a makefile that uses HP's stuff.

Or you download HP's newest version of their JDK from =
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/sdkrte14/index.html.
They claim there that is has support for 64 bit.

Cheers,
Andreas Wendt
