sudo on HP-UX 11.00

[Gary Glick]

Is there a hp depot for sudo running on 11.00?
I can't seem to find one.

Thank you

Gary

You waited too long for a .depot version but you can still download the source from any of the HP-UX Porting Centre's and make it yourself. It's a very easy build.

Gary,

You can download it from here:

Also check for details:

GoodLuck

I'm getting close to getting suo built.
I've installed gcc & the executable is in /usr/local/bin. The configure script runs successfully. I"m running into problem when I run the make command though. Here's the error message any idea.

I haven't forgotten about the points, I'm just waiting until I get this figured out, so determine how many.

Thank you.

Gary - Error message follows...

Stop.

The -fpic (or -fPIC) have the same meaning for gcc that +z and +Z (respectively) have for the HP ANSI C compiler. You are good from that perspective; however, it appears that since you are building a shared library, you need to assert the -b linker (ld) option. The "Wl," options are those that gcc passes on to the linker. Man ld for details.

Not having an ANSI/C or aCC HP compiler makes things a little more difficult to build than they would be otherwise but gcc should get you there.

[Gary Glick]

Ok, I got it figured out.
I needed to do a clean up from the attempt to compile before I had gcc properly configured.

Everything appears to be working now.

Thanks for all your help.
