cc: warning 422: Unknown option

[vickyjovial]

I have downloaded e2fsprogs-1.41.8.tar from http://sourceforge.net.

Then run configure with "--enable-elf-shlibs" flag to build the shared libraries. This runs fine.
# ./configure --enable-elf-shlibs

But when I run make to build the binaries and libraries I encountered below error.

# make

I don't know why it's happening in HPUX, where the same cleanly passes on Linux machines.

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't open libcom_err.so.2
Notice that it's trying to open .so shared library, whereas I am building this on pa machine.

Shalom,

1) Check that the shared libraries are installed on your system
2) If yes, make sure the location of the shared libaries is part of the variable SHLIB_PATH
3) If no, get the shared libraries and then do step 2.

Yes, Linux comes with a more complete set of shared libraries. A lot of developers do not build code with the intention of it running on HP-UX.

More assembly required.

These are gcc options. You'll either have to change the options to work with cc or use gcc to build it.

These doesn't helped much.
I would like to mention few more things here:
1.
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't open libcom_err.so.2
We are trying to create this shared library, which ld is trying to open. So it is not required to check whether same shared libraries are installed on the system or not.

2.
Using make, libcom_err.a is created at e2fsprogs-1.41.8/lib/et, but getting error for shared library libcom_err.so.2

3.
By using gcc now getting following error:
# make

>By using gcc now getting following error:

You need to toss this makefile garbage and show us the raw gcc commands.

What does this do: GEN_ELF_SOLIB libcom_err.so.2.1
