v11.x Shared Libs with v10.20?

[Andrew Herrmann]

I've built some shared libraries with aCC on HP-UX v11. I've distributed these to a user with HP-UX v10.20.

The user is unable to run with my shared libs due to unresolved symbols and modules:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __dt__9RWCStringFv (code) from
/home/bob/libcharlie.sl

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __dt__9RWCStringFv (code) from
/home/bob/libcharlie.sl

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved module for symbol: TestWorkArea (code)
from test50

The user is also unable to use CHATR (chatr librgshell.slchatr:(error) - dl_header_ext.size !=
sizeof(dl_header_ext). Please update your version of the chatr tool.

Is there a way to build these shared libs to make them v10.20 friendly?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi

I would say no.

Every release of a compiler is a superset of the previous or every compiler is a subset of the next.

There will always be things on 11 which 10 does not recognise.

hi Andrew,
I mostly think this is not possible. The runtime libraries of 11 wont be compatible with 10.2.

check this link for more information.
