Compiling lftp for 11.11

[Juha Eklund_1]

Howdy,
I tried to compile lftp for hp-ux 11i ( 11.11 ). The machine has gcc ( 4.0.2 ) and openssl ( 0.9.8a ).
The configure script abort when checking if the compiler can handle dynamic initializers? Should gcc handle those initializers? ( so is the error actually in the config-script or in gcc ?)

Configure gives out the following output:

./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /opt/imake/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking for g++... g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking dependency style of g++... gcc3
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64
checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no
checking how to link simple c++ programs... using gcc
checking if gcc supports -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti... yes
checking if -fno-implement-inlines implements virtual functions... yes
checking if c++ compiler works... yes
checking if c++ compiler can handle dynamic initializers... no
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot handle dynamic initializers of static objects

The config.log is the following:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by lftp configure 3.4.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

Sorry for the last post, it was not "ready" .. The reason I try to compile the lftp is that I need ftp-program which supports "FTP over SSL". The server at other end also expects that the client says "AUTH TLS" before login. Admin at other end says that othet clients use lftp ..

What other possibilities I have ( preferably binaries )?

Hello,

You can "tunnel" FTP requests using Stunnel, which is secure and reliable. Otherwise, you can download and compile "vsftp".

Thanx for very quickly answer .. However is the vsftp a SERVER ?! I need client that support the mentioned "FTP over SSL" ?!

OK, then you can use "sftp" which is part of Secure shell which you can download from,

# man sftp for more details after installing.

Thanx again ...

BUT is sftp supporting "FTP over SSL" ( that is different that using ssh-based tools like scp etc ?!).

I try to check that ASAP, If You're right and sftp is really supporting "FTP over SSL" then I in OK-situation !!!!

Well,
I checked the sftp manual page and it says:

sftp is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp(1), which
performs all operations over an encrypted ssh(1) transport. It may
also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
compression. sftp connects and logs into the specified host, then
enters an interactive command mode.

.. so its something else than "FTP over SSL" I quess ?!?!

Or was there something else You tried to poin to me ?!

PS: About stunnel, have You any info how it can be used to make connection from client ( like normal ftp ) to the the remote server which needs that "AUTH TLS" before the connection . I have *any* authority to the other end ?!
