Where is GCC 3.3.2 (binaries) for HP-UX 11.00 ?

[Maribeth Romeo]

I have been hunting for the binary depots for GCC 3.3.2. From what I understand, this is the latest release of GCC that I can use with my OS, HP-UX 11.00. The link that supposedly brings me to the download page is broken. Where can I get these binaries? Also, are there any special install instructions for installing the binaries? I cannot compile the source code for this release becuase I do not have an ANSI-compiler (just the bundled cc compiler). Thanks.

1. On my site, the binary distributions are not depot's, but compressed archives. Installation instructions are included on the site
2. The latest version of gcc that is released as stable is gcc-3.4.2 and works fine on HP-UX 11.00
3. GNU gcc is also already available in the 4.0.0 track, which I have running on AIX 5.2, but I would not advise you to do so on HP-UX :)

Ah - sorry Merijn explained it - for depots - 3.4.2 is on the porting centre:

Ok, now I'm confused by this. I got 3.3.2 because I was lead to believe that it was the latest version that would work with 3.3.2. It **seems** to work, but I am having lots of trouble using the varargs stuff. I get core dumps (bus errors, which to me indicates some type of alignment problem) when it encounters it. Is 3.4.2 truly compatible, and will it solve this problem? 3.4.2 seems to be a 64 bit implementation, and I have a 32 bit machine. Thanks for your expertise...I am in unchatered territory here and need all the help I can get.

gcc builds are EITHER 32bit OR 64bit. They cannot generate code for the other side.

So if you need 32bit objects, get the 32bit version.

I don't have varargs problems here, and I use that compiler daily (for perl testing)

Maybe your include files are not completely up to date, or is your libc too old

Well, 3.2.2, 3.4.2, I still crash when I declare a function that uses varargs. I'm not sure if I need a patch or something, but this sure is a frustrating exercise. Anytime a function like the following is called, I crash with a bus error (which to me, means an alignment problem).

int dbgprintf (int oblig_arg, ...)
{
return 0;
}

int dbgprintf (int oblig_arg, ...)
{
return 0;
} /* dbgprintf */

int debug (int i, char c, ...)
{
} /* debug */

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf ("%7d Hello world!\n", 7);

exit (0);
} /* main */

What is this telling me? I don't really understand. dbgprintf is never called, nor is debug. Can you explain what you've done? Thanks.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

I read from your mail that you got core dumps on *compile*
So I proved here that this small example program compiled warning/error free on HP-UX 11.00 with both the HP C-ANSI-C compiler, and with gcc-3.4.2, and also ran fine

I'll try to call it ...
