Re: Cannot build 1.5.22 on HP-UX 11.00

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hello Johannes,

First off, the mailing list in question is named bug-libtool, not
libtool-bug.  I wonder how it still arrived here, maybe the latter
is an alias of the former?

Which compiler version is this?

We've had a similar report a while ago; IIRC the issue is that if you
use a vendor compiler from an older HPUX version, it does not know -b
yet; so please print the output of
$ cc -c -V a.c

so we can try using that as criterion (or a test, if all fails).  The
compiler on the 11.00 system I have access to:
| ccom: HP92453-01 B.11.X.32509-32512.GP HP C Compiler

understands -b.

Please instead use
  $ ./configure CC=cc --prefix=/usr/local && make

so that, when possibly configure is rerun later automatically by a
'./config.status --recheck', the information about your CC setting is
not lost.

Cheers,
Ralf
