Compiling logrotate (HP-UX 11.23 and libhplx)

[compiler]

Hi.

I'm trying to compile logrotate 3.1.7 under HP-UX. I'm following the README.HP-UX and:

- I installed correctly gcc4, make, and some extra development packages.
- I compiled and installed correctly popt-1.6.4 under /opt.

But now I find the following in the README file:

- Obtain and install the following GNU/Linux to HP-UX Porting package: libhplx library

Browsing HP's website, I found that libhplx is only available for HP-UX 11i v1.5.

So, I need:

- Where to find libhplx for HP-UX 11.23 (Itanium)

or

- Where to find a precompiled binary of logrotate for HP-UX 11.23 (Itanium).

Thanks a lot for your help.

compiler,

I search and search and I almost got to nowhere, but I found this for you, I hope that it has what you need:

Hi Jaime.

Thanks for your link. It seems to work perfectly under HP-UX 11.23, although is the old logrotate v2.5 (and lacks lots of nice logrotate features), at least works and allows me to keep my system clean.

10 points for you :)

Before closing the thread, I would be interesting in knowing the answer to the first question of my message: Where to get libhplx for 11.23. This time you found a nice depot for me, but maybe for other different software I'll end compiling it and I'll need libhplx...

Thanks :)

I am sorry compiler, but it looks like the Libhplx is only available for parisc 11i (32bit, 64bits) and itanium 11i version 1.5.

The information about this library can be found at this page in the Linux Portal Kit:

If it works on 11.20, it should work on 11.23. Try it.

That's very interesting.

I'll try it.

Thanks a lot :)
