using RISC aCC on ia64

[slash_blog]

Can anybody guide as to whether the aCC compiler for RISC (9000/785) be used with ia64 processor? Are there two different sets of compilers for these two architectures?

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

No.

You will need the aCC compiler for Itanium to run on an Itanium ia64 processor.

Yes. One for PA and one for IPF.

SEP is correct. You must get an IPF compiler for Integrity. The current compiler is A.06.14:

Hi Steven

Surely you could run the aCC compiler under emulation provided you had all the PA-RISC supporting libraries and the environment set up correctly?

The code would still be PA-RISC code though.

I know I wouldn't recommend it, but in theory it should work. It was something we considered when we migrated our live and development environments to Itanium but realized we still had two old sites we needed to support for another 12 months. In the end we decided it wasn't viable and we retained an old server just for that purpose.

So then what is the one that I require?

Following is the uname output:

bash-3.2# uname -a
HP-UX hpbox1 B.11.23 U ia64 1789559510 unlimited-user license


Forgive me if I am missing something obvious.

>So then what is the one that I require?

As I said, the latest is A.06.14. See the link.

>AY: Surely you could run the aCC compiler under emulation provided you had all the PA-RISC supporting libraries and the environment set up correctly?

To do this, you would have to set up a SDK and you would be on your own:

Interesting, I was able to install
B9007AA C.11.31.01 HP C/aC++ Developer's Bundle
on my ia64 system as a test - seems to work fine.

Rgds...Geoff

>Geoff: I was able to install

Naturally. The bundle contains both PA and IPF bits and swinstall installs what matches.

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

Could not! you must use another aCC version
B9007AA is one stable version.
