GCC for HPUX 11.00

[Pamela Hammitt]

I am working on a project that I have to build gcc 2.8.1. I installed a gcc binary that was built I think on a 700 workstation. My server of course is an 800. The gcc will build on the workstation but I can't get the compiler to configure on the server. Looking at the workstation build log, it's making a system, target and host for hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00. When I try to configure for the server it is making system hppa1.0-hp-hpux1.00. When it tests to see if the gcc compiler is working, it says no and errors out. Is this due to architecture differences? If so, where can I find a gcc binary for HPUX 11.00 built on a server?

Thanks

Pam

Should not make a difference, server versus workstation.

hppa1.0-hp-hpux1.00 <- That's a typo I hope

anyway, presuming it said hppa1.0-hp-hpux11.00, it tells you that you have a PA-RISC 1.0 CPU, which is unbeleivingly old.

Your post does not tell me what type of 800 server you have, and what CPU it should run on.

I have several binary builds available, amongst which 2.95.3 for HP-UX 10.20 pa-1.1

So let us assume you indeed have a HP-UX 11.00 system with a PA-RISC-1.0 CPU, then

export LD_PXDB=/usr/bin/true

make bootstrap-lean

make install

Above snippet however assumes you already have binutils installed on /usr/local/pa10_32

pa10_32 is the way I use to code 32bit objects for PA_RISC-1.0. My other builds would go to pa11_32, pa20_32, and pa20_64.

Some additional info

Feeling a little bit masochistic, I just fetched ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/mirror/languages/gcc/old-releases/gcc-2/gcc-2.8.1.tar.bz2 and tried to compile it on HP-UX 11.00 using gcc-4.0.0 (which failed), and with HP C-ANSi-C (which also failed)

2.8.1 does not know about bootstrap-lean

My advice: don't even try!

2.95.3 wasn't that much pain to do, and more recent (and far better) versions are widely available. gcc-2.8.1 is NOT worth sleepless nights.
