10.20 and 11.0 support

[andi_1]

Hi guys,

How can I ensure if I compile on 11.0 system, the resulting binaries can also be ran on 10.20 system?

I used ANSIC for one project and gcc for another.

Thank you!

Hi,

I think not ! You will have to compile it on 10.20 as well.

But there might be other suggestions that I am not aware of.

The simple answer is that you can't. In almost every case (kernel intrusive code being the exception), 10.20 code will execute on 11x but the converse is not true. The code is upwardly compatible but NOT downwardly compatible. You must compile everything on a 10.20 box. The few application that might work are working by accident.

Hi Lz

The binaries are suppose to be upward compatible , if per chance you have to run it on lower OS then may be u need to recompile again , I assume you are using HPUX 11.00 32 bit.
