can I use the current compiler version with upgraded os

[Anshumali Rajput]

Hi All,
I've the following version of ANSI installed on HP UX release 11.11 sep 2003 on PA-RISC:

B3394BA B.11.11.02 HP-UX Developer's Toolkit for 11.11

B3901BA B.11.11.08 HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.i (S800)

B3913DB C.03.50 HP aC++ Compiler (S800)

Now I want to upgrade this server's OS version 11.11 to 11.23 without affecting the C and C++ related third party application and library.
1)Could I use this compiler version(current) with my new updated OS version?
2) In case of fresh 11.23 OS installation Could I installed this same compiler version to new os version 11.23? As per my knowledge this ANSI/C version depends on the OS release and it is not feasible/possible to install it on newer version.
I look forward to hearing from you..
thank you very much in advance.

You should read the Software README file or compatibility OS.

but i guess this is not possible. Coz every software has some dependebility with OS.

Hi thank you for your feedback
I've gone through that OS release notes but there is no information relevant to my question(in case of fresh 11.23 OS installation Could I installed this same compiler version to new os version 11.23).
Thanks again!

Looks like only below versions can be used with 11.23
HP ANSI C Version B.11.23.13 September 2007
HP ANSI C Version B.11.23.12 June 2006
HP ANSI C Version B.11.23.09 November 2005
HP ANSI C Version B.11.23.08 January 2005
HP ANSI C Version B.11.23.06 September 2004

Your old compilers are almost 5 years old. You should get the latest. For aC++ see:

>1)Could I use this compiler version (current) with my new updated OS version?

It's not supported nor likely to install.

>Could I installed this same compiler version to new OS version 11.23?

You codeword probably won't work on another system.

>but there is no information relevant to my question

Because 11.23 didn't exist then and you are suppose to use the appropriate 11.23 compiler version.

Hi,

No, old version of C compiler will not work in 11.23 as it is for 11.11 only.

Better you go for latest version as given in link:

or you can also try evaluation version.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for your inputs. Adding one more question to this..
3)If I use the upgraded compiler version for my upgraded HP UX version 11.23(For testing purpose it is my basic requirement to upgrade the OS version 11.11 to 11.23 on PA-RISC) How much it will affect my running applications setup.As per release notes there is no impact,any practical(hands on) experience if you like to share?
In case of any impact I'll have to switch back the current environment as we are not in position to keep this issue open.So is it feasible to upgrade this OS version 11.11 to 11.23 or just leave it and use the another server for this(creating same environment there). Really I need your help in this regard(which option is good)and hope you will come up with your ideas or experience?
Once again thank you very much for your feedback..

>How much it will affect my running applications setup?

None, unless you update your runtime patches too. Which will occur when you go to 11.23 anyway.

>In case of any impact I'll have to switch back the current environment

You shouldn't see any unless you have bugs in your application that the new runtime exposes.
