"cpan> install sybperl" errors on an Itaunium rx4640 HP-UX 11.23

[James Michael Lee]

Hi All,

I have been asked to build two versions of sybperl, one for sybase 12_5 and one for sybase 15_0, on Itanium.

My first thought was to use CPAN to install sybperl and my first attempt was to build for sybase 12_5. I don't have a sybase database to use to test, but I think the error I am getting is before the tests take place.

If anyone can provide information that helps to build sybperl then maximum points would be deserved! BTW any version of sybperl would be equally as good but hopfully the latest should be the easiest to build no?

Hi James:

You have several issues:

You do not have an ANSI C compiler as shown by the warning:

cc: warning 922: "-Ae" is unsupported in the bundled compiler, ignored.

Next, your Perl is a 32-bit version for which you are attempting to compile and linke 64-bit objects. That will not work. Either all objects and shared libraries must be 32-bit or all must be 64-bit. The linker uses the "bitness" of the first argument to which to match the remaining arguments:

ld: Mismatched ABI (not an ELF file) for -lct_r

... /opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.3/ ...

As a first rule, the compiler used to compile your Perl should match the compiler that you use to compile modules requiring the C-compiler for their installation.

# perl -V:cc

...will show you the compiler that was used to compile your core Perl distribution.

You need to obtain (purchase) either the HP ANSI C compiler:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B9007AA

...assuming that your Perl was compiled by the HP compiler:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL

...OR: fetch a 'gcc' (GNU) ANSI C compiler and a Perl distribution compiled with it:

http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/

For the HP-supplied Perl binary's you should link '/usr/bin/perl' to '/opt/perl_64'.

Regards!

...JRF...

[Dennis Handly]

ld: Mismatched ABI (not an ELF file) for -lct_r

This indicates that libct_r is probably a PA-RISC file and not for IPF.

>JRF: and links 64-bit objects

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. This error occurs when linking a PA SOM file with IPF ELF files.

Hi, Thanks for responding...

Why does my bundled cc say it is ANSI if it does not support ANSI?

root@sybdevclone:/root# cc -V /tmp/play.c
(Bundled) cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.50 [May 15 2003]
ld: 92453-07 linker ld HP Itanium(R) B.12.34 IPF/IPF

The last time I built sybperl was on a PA-RISC server under HP-UX 11.23 and that version links to a 32 bit library. I am using exactly the same (PA-RISC) 32-bit library on the Itanium, because there is no Itanium specific library available of sybase 12_5. Sybase runs on Itanium through some sort of PA-RISC emulator.

Linking Perl to the 64-bit version is not going to work because I don't have 64-bit libraries for sybase. The Perl I used in the example is the one that comes with HP-UX 11.23. I cannot tell from the output below wheather the bundled compiler or the HP development kit was used to build HP-UX Perl because they both use the command 'cc'.

FYI here is an old PA-RISC version of sybperl...see the sybase library it is using...

Here is the sybase library on the Itanium server. It is the same library.

I have the HP-UX Developers kit and I can also use gcc. Any idea which I should pick to build a 32-bit version of sybperl with sybase 12_5? Also, the sybase 15_0 that I want to build after this has a mixture of 32bit and 64bit libraries, but we will ignore that for now. Any comments would be appreciated but this is begining to look like it is not worth the effort involved.

James.

>Why does my bundled cc say it is ANSI if it does not support ANSI?
(Bundled) cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.50

Because "Bundled" has higher precedence than the rest. :-)
It is the bundled version of HP aC++/ANSI C.

Anyway, this is a moot question since you had no problems compiling.

>The last time I built sybperl was on a PA-RISC server under HP-UX 11.23. I am using exactly the same (PA-RISC) 32-bit library on the Itanium, because there is no Itanium specific library available of sybase 12_5. Sybase runs on Itanium through some sort of PA-RISC emulator.

(Through Aries.) Then there is no need to build sybperl, just use your PA one.

The correct assumption is probably nobody uses cc_bundled to compile perl.

[James Michael Lee]

Thanks for responding...

DH> "Then there is no need to build sybperl [on Itanium], just use your PA one."

I built sybperl-1.011 (patch sybperl-patch12) with Perl 4.0.1.8 (Patch level: 36) & ccom: HP92453-01 B.11.11.08 HP C (Bundled) Compiler, under HP-UX 11i v2 on a PA-RISC (9000/800) server; then, I copied the sybperl binary to Itanium and tested it. The Sybase 12_0 library files that sybperl links to are on the Itanium server in the same location. This is what I found...

sybperl -v works, but ldd sybperl does not. This is not a conclusive test but it shows that the sybperl binary does execute under Itanium. I don't know what to make of the ldd message, nor do I know of any other way to test sybperl on Itanium. I will pass the responsibility for a full test to the DBAs, but before I can do that, I have to repeat this whole build for Sybase 15_0. Expect a long delay while I sort out the new error messages that the sybperl (Sybase 15_0) make threw out.

I thank you all once again for responding.
best regards,
James.

FYI. The ldd message.

>but ldd sybperl does not.

Hmm, I thought it would be easy but you'll have to settle for chatr(1)
$ SDKROOT=/usr/ccs/pa/usr/bin chatr ./sybperl

If you want to get ldd to work you would need to do as root:
# ln -s /usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lbin/fastbind32 /usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lbin/ldd32

The bundled C compiler on PA is K&R, it can't compile this. You need the ANSI C compiler or gcc.

Hi All,

JRF> You need to obtain (purchase) either the HP ANSI C compiler:

I installed HP ANSI C and tried to build sybperl again(for sybase15 this time), on Itanium. The screen dump is attached...

JRF> For the HP-supplied Perl binary's you should link '/usr/bin/perl' to '/opt/perl_64'.

I linked to the 64-bit version of Perl for the build of sybperl for sybase15. The build stops with the following error...

As above, I have tried the compile again with the HP-UX ANSI C compiler. I was not able to fix the ldd message based on what you suggested, but thanks anyway for trying. I guess it does not matter that ldd does not work. FYI here is what I tried, but like I said it is not so important to fix ldd. If I can get the sybase15 sybperl built, then I will let the DBAs loose to test both sybperls.

root@sybdevclone:/usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/bin# ./chatr /tmp/sybperl
root@sybdevclone:/usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lbin# ./ld32 /tmp/sybperl

root@sybdevclone:/usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lbin# ldd /tmp/sybperl
ldd: Invalid file type: "/tmp/sybperl". Shared executable or shared library expected.

Thanks again folks...

You have to develop on PA since that's the only version of sybase15 you have??

>The build stops with the following error...
ld: Mismatched machine types. Expected EM_IA_64 but found EM_PARISC in file /opt/sybase/OCS-15_0/lib/libsybct_r64.sl

This is a PA 64 bit lib, which can't be used with IPF executables.

>I have tried the compile again with the HP-UX ANSI C compiler.

On PA.

>I was not able to fix the ldd message based on what you suggested

If this was 64 bit, it seems to just work.
If you want to use it on shlibs, you need to copy over /usr/ccs/lib/pa20_64/lddstub to
/usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lib/pa20_64/lddstub and copy over fastbind64. And set this symlink:
# ln -s /usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lbin/fastbind64 /usr/ccs/pa/usr/ccs/lbin/ldd64

>I guess it does not matter that ldd does not work.

That chatr(1) command would work.

Hi All,

DH> "You have to develop on PA since that's the only version of sybase15 you have??"

Yes, sybase15 is the only version available. It is the version that is installed on Itanium; however, Sybase15 runs on Itanium through a PA-RISC emulator [DH > (Through Aries.)] so in fact the version of sybase15 I have *is* the PA-RISC version and there is no other Itanium version.

Building on PA-RISC and copying the binary over to Itanium makes sense but, binary executables that are built on PA-RISC and copied over and run on Itanium (assuming the clock speeds are the same) gain *nothing* in performance from being executed on an Itanium server.

I did try to build sybperl-1.011 (patch sybperl-patch12) with Perl 4.0.1.8 (Patch level: 36) on PA HP-UX 11.23 with the HP ANSI C. First I had to build Perl. My attempt to build Perl failed with the following error message...See Attached for more details.

cc: "eval.c", line 2924: error 1527: Incompatible types in cast: Must cast from scalar to scalar or to void type.
cc: "eval.c", line 2927: error 1527: Incompatible types in cast: Must cast from scalar to scalar or to void type.

Is this because if incompatibilities between K&R style C and ANSI C? Is the best thing to do, to use macros to get around this in the C code, or to use a more up to date version of sybperl? Does anyone know what version of sybperl and perl is easist to build against sybase 15 on HP-UX 11.23? I can change the version of perl and sybperl, but not the version of sybase or HP-UX.

Obviously my original post was building sybperl on Itanium, so to build on PA-RISC is going off topic! Sorry about that, but it seems like it is not possible to build sybperl for Sybase 15 (on Itanium) because the sybase 15 libraries are PA-RISC. The only option then, is to build on PA-RISC and copy the executable over to Itanium.

Maybe it is time to close this thread and post a new one called "Building sybperl on PA-RISC HP-UX 11.23 Sybase 15". I am pretty new to support forums so still learning proper etiquette, but it seems like a waste of everyone's time to go off topic and this specific post (building sybperl for sybase15 on Itanium) seems to be resolved as *impossible*, unless anyone has anything to add?

Thanks again to all for your thoughtful replies...

James.
