Need gcc 2.95.3 depot for 11.31 (both IA & PA)

[coolaqua]

Hi,
Does anybody has depot for gcc2.95.3 (for both IA & PA)..?

I downloaded this version for PA from
mirrors(dot)develooper(dot)com/hpux/downloads.html

I did not face any problem in installing this. But when i tried to execute a simple program (Hello World), I got the following error

/opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00/2.95.3/include/stdio.h:30: warning: `__va__list' redefined
/usr/include/sys/stdsyms.h:537: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
as: "/var/tmp/ccuXzJda.s", line 22: error 1052: Directive name not recognized - NSUBSPA


I even tried to build the gcc source. But could not. I have attached the build output for your reference..

Please help me to resolve this...

Thanks

This means you aren't using the foreign devil version of as(1). Possibly gas?

Why? It's almost prehistoric. What's wrong
with any of the more current (and more easily
available) GCC versions?

Really? I don't see a GCC 2.95.3 kit there
for HP-UX 11.31 (which is considerably newer
than GCC 2.95.3, by the way). Oh, I see.
You seem to have gotten the kit for a much
older HP-UX version, and apparently expected
it to work on 11.31. Good luck with that.

@Dennis
Thanks for the info... I am using GNU's assembler -
GNU assembler version 2.17 (ia64-hp-hpux11.23) using BFD version 2.17

@steven
Thanks for your reply...

There is a dependency for gcc-2.95.3 in my application.

I know there is no gcc 2.95.3 kit for 11.31 on that website. As a workaround, first I tried installing the available kit. Then tried to build the code (both activities doen on PA m/c).

Want to know If it is possible to achive what I am trying to...? Pls advice..


Any suggestions/pointers are welcome...

Thanks

The error message seems to be for PA (NSUBSPA) but you are listing an IPF assembler??

The important question is gcc using the gnu assembler?

Oops.!! This is the version of 'as' i m using..

GNU assembler version 2.17 (hppa64-hp-hpux11.11) using BFD version 2.17

Thanks

This is the version you want to use but you're not.
Compile with -v and see which "as" you are using.

Hi Dennis,
I explicitly mentioned the 'as' path in the command line. Following is the error message I got:

Stop.

Well, this isn't the previous HP's PA as(1) error output. It may be the GNU IPF assembler?

So _you_ say. Why? What's so special about
gcc-2.95.3? What, exactly, is the problem
with a newer GCC?

Hi,

Nearly all requests of such type I got are the results of incorrect coding of the application itself, which was uncovered by other compilers (here: perhaps a more recent gcc). Often it's the case when porting to a different platform.

Try an up-to date gcc first.
If it works: done.
Else: you may look for compatiblity options or better check the code of the application.

Dennis,
In earlier error output, I had used only --with-gnu-as flag. But this time I explicitly mentioned the path of the as --with-as=/opt/hp-gcc64-4.2.1/bin/as

you mean to say I am using IPF version of as...??

[Dennis Handly]

>you mean to say I am using IPF version of as...??

Possibly. That would explain why it doesn't like those PA directives.
