mutt on HPUX 10.20

Mr GUENIER — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 09:48:57 GMT

Hello,

My configuration : HP9000 D390 with HPUX 10.20

I have installed gcc version 2.95.2. I try to compile mutt version 1.2.5 from source.

I get the following message : error 1052: Directive name not recognized.

I have searched on web. It seems to be a problem with the "linker" program used with gcc.

Can someone help me resolve this issue ??

Thanks.

Laurent.

Did you get all of the dependencies required for MUTT?

According to http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/mutt-1.5.21/ the build time dependencies for MUTT are: gettext, libiconv, libidn, make and ncurses.

Which topic mentions "linker"?

The hits I find all mention not finding the foreign devil assembler and needing binutils.

Hello Dennis,

I am not a specialist for compiling process on hpux.

Can I install the package binutils-2.9.1-1-10.20.sd with the version of gcc I have installed gcc-2.95.2-sd-10.20.depot ?

After I will be able to compile mutt ?

Could you help me.

Thanks.

Laurent.

I would suggest you try. I don't know if the version numbering is suppose to be consistent between the two?

Hello Denis,

I have installed slang and binutils.

I launch this command : ./configure --prefix=/opt/mutt-1.2.5 --with-slang=/usr

I have attached the config.log.

Could you help me ?

Thanks.

Laurent.

It is useless to look at this file unless you have a particular error in question.

Is your initial assembler error gone?

Re: mutt on HP-UX 10.20

Mr GUENIER — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 11:21:06 GMT

Yes, I have created a link in /usr/ccs/bin for as pointed to /usr/local/bin/as (binutil version).

When I launche "as -v" I got :

GNU assembler version 2.9.1 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20), using BFD version 2.9.1

So I think it is ok for assembler issue.

Ack! You should NOT be replacing HP's as(1) by a foreign devil version. Just change your PATH so the one in /usr/local/bin/ is used.

Mr GUENIER — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 11:42:01 GMT

how can I do that because /usr/local/bin is in PATH !!

Is it before both /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/bin?

Re: mutt on HP-UX 10.20

echo $PATH

>/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/contrib/bin: ...

So before you attempt to build mutt you should manually change PATH to:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Re: mutt on HP-UX 10.20

When I change PATH with your information and reput the original as program in /usr/ccs/bin, I got this with configure command :

Do you have a config.log for that?

yes.

Ok, it looks like you are stuck with a broken gcc that wants to use /usr/ccs/bin/as. I suppose there may be a gcc option that tells you the path to as(1)?

Otherwise use your kludge put the gas version there.

Re: mutt on HP-UX 10.20

Mr GUENIER — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:36:04 GMT

Can I replace the original "as" by the gnu "as" or create a link to it ?? What is the best solution ?

I think the path of "as" is "hard coded" in my gnu version (/usr/ccs/bin).

>Can I replace the original "as" by the gnu "as" or create a link to it?

I would suggest you rename the original as(1) and then create a symlink to the Gnu version. (You will get swverify errors after you do this.)

>I think the path of "as" is "hard coded"

It looks that way, if you have changed PATH properly and it still failed.

You could also try gcc-3.4.6 or gcc-4.1.1 from my site that has a lot of (more recent) open-source depots for HP-UX 10.20

Note that gcc-4 was not able to producre a running perl5 on HP-UX
