linking problem

[andi_1]

Hi guys,

I am trying to build httpd binary and I get the following undefined symbols.

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (buildmark.o) was detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system.
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
__eprintf (code)
__udivdi3 (code)
__umoddi3 (code)
*** Error exit code 1

How can I find out where are those symbols are coming from? (nm -p doesn't give this information)

Also, is it possible to remove the above symbols from the generated binary file? The file is actually generated even though errors were encountered. When use the file, it core-dumps.

Thank you.

Hi:

Let me give you my standard method for finding where these symbols are defined.

1) Cd to desired library directly, e.g. /usr/lib

2) nm lib* > /tmp/list

3) Search /tmp/list using grep or vi for your symbols. The file name listed immediately above these symbols (which may be only a few lines above or many lines above) will be the library that you need to include in your link.

Hi,

Here is a script I use to find where
a symbol is defined. It uses the
odump command. You will understand how
to use it by trying it (and reading the
script)

It comes as an attachment as I am afraid
lines will be messed up otherwise.

Hi again.

Seems I did not get the script attached.
Try to include it here:

#!/bin/ksh
#
# Filename: /home/olav/scripts/findsym
#
#
# DESCRIPTION:
# This scripts runs through files in a given directory searching
# for a given symbol.

# It uses the odump command

# filset USRCONTRB. No man-page on 10.x
# Supported under hp-ux 11.x (with man-page)

l1:/usr/lib 103 > grep eprintf defs.nm
t 0x000BB5B8 ./libdce.sl:rpc__svc_eprintf
l1:/usr/lib 104 >

the defs.nm, which lists the symbols that are *defined* in any module, is created - alongside libs.nm, which contains a list of *all* symbols, and libs.ar, which contains an object listing - by the attached perl script. I should run it after every system upgrade, either patches or applications, but I tend to forget, so maybe the umoddi3 is int there already.
