Shell Compiler

[System Dude_1]

Is there anything similar to shc-2.4a shell application compiler for Solaris 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. I want to compile the shell script in HP-UX and Solaris without need to change the shell script if both the shell compiler can use the same shell script.

good question system dude (like the name)

I had the same problem with shc when I tried to use a compiled script on a solaris system. I'll look around an let you know if i find anything...

however... I believe that if you take the same script... and compile one on the HP side and then and the other on the sun side ... that they'll both work in their own environments.... but I think what you're looking for is a compile and be portable to other systems type of thing...

don't know... some might suggest trying perl. Perl has it's own compiling feature. some others might recommend C++

let us know what you decide. I'm interested in hearing your solution.

Hi,
If you use Perl and you would like to compile your script try "Perl2Exe":
