sctp api or library

winlac — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 00:30:44 GMT

i would like to ask if theres an available api for the hpux 11i? i downloaded the library from sctp.de and it doesnt compile properly. i researched about the opencall ss7 but its not free.

I see 2-3 implementation of SCTP on HP-UX here http://www.sctp.org/implementations.html But all turned out to be commercial products including SS7, Nothing freely available. Can you post what error you got during compilation, we can try to debug that instead of searching for a free API/library ?

sctp.de didnt mention if its supporting the hp platform so i just tried it anyway to see what will be the problem. the created make file is looking for some library which when i checked is existing in solaris. so i was wondering if anyone was able to find or created a workaround for the library to successfully compile in hpux

What is the library (libraries) names ? Can you give more information to proceed further ? Have you tried compiling http://www.openss7.org/strxnet-0.9.2-4.tar.gz
