- Since we have upgraded our 720 from 8.05 to 8.07, we
- have had two new problems compiling some C programs.
- I am curious to know if any one else has had these
- problems and what was done to resolve them. I have
- called the tech support people about both.
-
- The first problem ( ref. #A3031507 ) has to do with the
- linker. If we link our program against hp's shared libraries,
- the linker core dumps. Using the -Wl,-a,archive option to
- use only static libraries, the program links ok. Well,
- we wanted to use the hp shared graphics libraries. After
- about four weeks of waiting for help on this from hp, we
- have been told this is our problem and we must pay someone
- to look at it. I guess it must be our problem, we never
- should have used the linker from hpux 8.07. Replacing it
- with the linker from the 8.05 system works fine.
-
-
- The second problem ( ref. #A3050710 ) is still in the works.
- The preprocessor is giving me "too much defining" messages.
- The cpp from the 8.05 system works fine, the 8.07 one gives
- the problems. I'm still waiting to see what hp tells me on
- this one.
-
- If you've had these problems let me know and let me know
- what you did to resolve them. It seems odd to me that an hp
- "upgrade" would would be worse than what it replaced.
