Selective porting (LINUX to HP-UX)

Anitha_5 — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 02:41:55 GMT

Hi all,

We are in the process of porting GNU-C library to HP-UX. The approach we took was to port a single functionality for eg. printf.c to HP-UX.
We included all the dependencies, but when we tried an application using the printf.c ported file we landed up in loader giving an error stating
crt0.o is not present.

Hence please let me know is this the correct approach to port and how to resolve the issue.

If any different approach is availalbe, please make me aware of it.

thanks in advance

Anitha.

Hi Anitha

Please refer to following link where HP will not guarantee the functionality, quality, or reliability of the library

It sounds as though you are trying to do what has already been done by HP (see the reply above for the link).

What are you trying to achieve by porting GNU-C? Is it the library you're trying to port, or something that uses it?

If you are about to port more software from linux to hp-ux, peek at the software archive (http://hpux.its.tudelft.nl/) They have a lot of this software ported.

Scan their faq (http://hpux.its.tudelft.nl/hppd/answers/) for their recipy, it can guide you.

ON the other hand, see what they have and use it.
