[mico-devel] How to build MICO 2.3.11 in HP-UX 11.11?

[Laurent Marzullo]

Hello,

I've tried once to use GCC on hpux superdome, and this turn me crazy.
What I've understand (If I well remember, it was about 3 years ago) is
that G++ and HP-UX linker does not fill well together for using dynamic
library ! Perhaps this has been fix yet (don't know).

I've then compiled MICO with --disable-shared to use only static library
(because at the time, dynamic library compiled with G++ on HP-UX does
not have any 'init' routine inside, and then static object was not
initialize when dynamic library was loaded).

When configuring mico, I've done something like this:

CXX=<path to GNU c++ compiler> ./configure --disable-shared
--disable-thread etc, etc and finally suceed !

But the big mess is to compile G++ on HP-UX, not MICO (at the time, I've
found some binary package for HP-UX of G++ but they didn't work), but as
I've said, perhaps this has been fixed now.

Regards
