Error while compilation

[Anand_30]

Hi,

I have ported some C++ application from HP-UX10.20 to HP-UX11.11. I get the following error while compiling the application in
HP-UX11.11:

passing arg 2 of `svc_sendreply' from incompatible pointer type

for the line:

(void) svc_sendreply(transp, xdr_void,
(char *)NULL);

Can anyone please help me out on this.

Thanks,
Anand.

It means that you have been less than rogorous in observing typing. The 2nd arg must be a pointer to a function of type xdrproc_t and also the 3rd argument must me cast as a caddr_t.

A man svc_sendreply should make this clear.

First of all check that portmapper is running and patches if any to the portmap are applied.

Since you seem to be compiling some rpc code why not try compiling it in the K&R c mode which I believe is turned on with -k switch.
rpcgen -k

Thanks Paddy,

Can you please tell me how to find out if the portmapper is running. Also, the
rpcgen -k option is not working.
