Using gcc or ANSI C for Openview apps on HP-UX 11

[Admin ITO]

We are not able to run Openview applications compiled with gcc 2.95.2 or B3899BA (B.11.01.07 HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.00 S700) . We always get this error :

/usr/lib/dld.sl : unresolved symbol:__shlimi (code) from /opt/OV/lib/libov.3
Abort (coredump)

HP support team tells us to buy the HP ANSI C++ compiler. Does anybody know if it is mandatory ?

Get the latest gcc and do a full build and instal which includes g++ this should work

If you are compiling C code, it shouldn't matter unless you want performance.

You can't mix aC++ code with g++.

This looks like a C++ mangled symbol.  Or an illegal C reserved symbol.
