Having trouble with archive libraries in 64-bit 11.11 HP-UX

MTSU_SAN — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 09:27:20 GMT

I'm trying to compile openldap in 64-bit mode on HPUX 11.11, and whenever I try to link in an archive library, I get an ABI mismatch, or a Cannot load symbol table--but I've checked the object files and they are definitely ELF 64-bit,and nm lists the symbol tables just fine. Has anyone else had trouble with this, and how did you change the linking?
Here is a sample command and output...
/bin/sh ../..//libtool --mode=link cc -static +DD64 -L/usr/local/lib -
L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib -o dtest dtest.o liblber.la ../../libraries/lib
lutil/liblutil.a
cc +DD64 -o dtest dtest.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib ./.l
ibs/liblber.a ../../libraries/liblutil/liblutil.a
ld: (Warning) Cannot load library symbol table in ./.libs/liblber.a, it might be
missing or corrupted. Skipping library ./.libs/liblber.a.
ld: (Warning) Cannot load library symbol table in ../../libraries/liblutil/liblu
til.a, it might be missing or corrupted. Skipping library ../../libraries/liblut
il/liblutil.a.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Just to make sure, have you installed all the dependancies like BerkeleyDB, etc.. in 64 bit ?

Oh yes, and had trouble with each and every dependency! Even the binaries from the software porting sites that say they are 2.0 Risc are all 32-bit, and so I've had to compile everything from scratch.
Thanks for asking.

Typically if you get "Cannot load library symbol table" it means the archive wasn't created with HP's ar.

You can "fix" this by: ar -rs foo.a

Thanks, I did rebuild the symbol table with ar, but I got the same message afterwards...Weird, huh?

You used the following?
/usr/ccs/bin/ar -rs foo.a

Have you checked if the archive libraries you are trying to link with are all 64-bit. Do an ldd -v on the executable to find out the shared dependencies and post the output.

cheers!

Can you provide either liblber.a & liblutil.a, whichever is smaller?

MTSU_SAN — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 09:23:22 GMT

Sure--liblutil.a is attached

Hi Connie,

Typically the mismatched ABI is related to mixing 32/64-bit modes in the same compilation. You checked all your .o (object files) but have you verified with elfdump that all the .a (archive libs) files that you're loading into your executable are indeed 64-bit.

cheers!

Re: Having trouble with archive libraries in 64-bit 11.11 HP-UX

MTSU_SAN — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 16:46:44 GMT

I never thought of that, because the table was built only from the object files listed, and that is the one being complained of that it cannot load the symbol table. Which option to elfdump tells you if it is a 64-bit archive library?

Re: Having trouble with archive libraries in 64-bit 11.11 HP-UX

Dennis Handly — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 19:13:07 GMT

Looking at your archive indicates no symbol table at all. (elfdump -f -g)
Were you using -q to create or add to it?

My suggestion about using ar -rs doesn't seem to work.

You need to use ar -qs, or use ranlib(1) to fix your archive.

Well, now I'm really confused, cause when I run elfdump it is fine...
elfdump -a liblutil.a

liblutil.a:

*** Archive Header ***

liblutil.a[base64.o]:
Mar 14 16:10 2006 105 201 304370 0x2070 base64.o

etc..

and
elfdump -f -g liblutil.a
liblutil.a:

liblutil.a[base64.o]:

So, why when you looked at it was it not?

Basically you are seeing the -a and -f output which is useless for ld. You need to look for the -g output. Use ranlib and you'll see the extra global symbol table.

I just ran elfdump -g liblutil.a on the file before and after running ranlib, and I get the same output (none!)
frank3 /usr/local4/openldap-2.3.19/libraries/liblutil $ elfdump -g liblutil.a

liblutil.a:

I get -g output on your test .a whether I use /usr/ccs/bin/ranlib or /usr/ccs/bin/ar -qs.

Different than just the name of the archive file, like I posted?

Yes, massive amounts of output:
copy.a:

1618 lutil_b64_ntop
...
