Compiling on HPUX 11.31 Itanium

[David Hilker_1]

I am building Apache/PHP with several other libraries that I am also compiling (z,openssl,openldap,etc..). I have done this many times on 11.23 PARISC. It seems that for PA-RISC the libraries generated were .sl. When I build some of the libraries on 11.31 I get .so files. It seems when I move to a library that has a dependency on a previous library I compiled it is always looking for a .sl, not a .so. How do I specify to use the .so, instead of a .sl when building these applications? It does not seem to look for .so, only .sl. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave.

You need to change your makefiles to use the .so suffix and not .sl.

Hi Dave:

Have a look at the Technical Knowledge Base document, "HP-UX Operating Systems Linker - What Are the Differences Between .so Files and .sl Files on Itanium?:

I have figured out a solution, which was to specify the exact path to the .so library.

For example:
./configure --prefix=$BAP \
--with-ldap \
--with-ldap-lib=$BLIB/ldap/lib/libldap.so \
--with-ldap-include=$BLIB/ldap/include \
--with-iconv=$BLIB/iconv \
--with-expat=$BLIB/expat \
--with-apr=$BAP

Thanks for everyone's assistance.
