jdk1.5 for HP-UX 11.00

[Fred Ruffet]

Hi all !

I have HP-UX 11.00 64 bit, running on PA-RISC 2.0. I need JDK 1.5 on this server. Problem is that packages provided at http://www.hp.com/go/java only match HP-UX 11i. It is told that it runs on both 11i and 11.00, but running swinstall ends on :
Could not apply the software selection "*" because there are no product variations that are compatible with the destination host(s).

Any solution ?

Thanks,

Fred

Shalom Fred,

I don't there there is a solution other than compiling the source. I doubt that will work.

As far as I know however, HP-UX 11.00 64 bit used PA-RISC 1.1, not 2.0

So some of the information provided seems inconsistent.

I think the Java 1.5 code is PA-RISC 2.0 which would explain why it won't work on HP-UX 11.00 PA-RISC 1.1

Therefore upgrade of the OS is your only option.

Fred,
upgrade seems to be the solution as
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5991-6708/ch01s01.html
shows no JDK1.5 for 11.0 !

SEP,

grep $(model | cut -d "/" -f 3) /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models
L3000-8x 2.0 PA8700
So, it's PA8700 2.0... I thought it means PA-RISC 2.0, but now, I doubt. And I also doubt about compiling this :)

Peter,

There is a project to change this hardware. But it will take time, and I would have like to use JDK 1.5 before.

However, many thanks for this answers ! I will try to compile (OK, SEP, I'll let you know ;)). If any other Idea...

Hi Fred,

you could try to install JDK 1.5 at a 11i ws, then copy the directory to your 11.0

Maybe it works

Fred,

The PA-RISC you refer to has to do with the hardware. Perhaps it means it CAN run PA-RISC 2.0

The OS can only run PA-RISC 1.1 compiled binaries.

I'm pretty sure about that. I'm a graduate of the school of hard knocks in this regard. I've never been able to even get a PA-RISC 2.0 app to compile on an 11.00 box.

Are you talking about jdk or vmunix? 11.00 can support 2.0 code. And for 64 bit, it has to.

Is that only because it doesn't list any 11.00 since 11.00 is no longer supported?

>it's PA8700 2.0... I thought it means PA-RISC 2.0,

That's exactly what it means.

>SEP: The PA-RISC you refer to has to do with the hardware. Perhaps it means it CAN run PA-RISC 2.0

Can and does since Fred says it is 64 bit.

>SEP: The OS can only run PA-RISC 1.1 compiled binaries.

Not hardly, see below.

>SEP: I've never been able to even get a PA-RISC 2.0 app to compile on an 11.00 box.

You should have no problems provided you have a 2.0 CPU, PA8XXX. And you should be able to compile it, just not run.
