3.1.6-pre-1 on HP-UX 11.00

3.1.6-pre-1 on HP-UX 11.00

[Ollivier Robert]

I have an HP B180 machine, running 11.00 and I'm trying to compile
3.1.6-pre-1 (with all posted patches !) on it.

HP-UX phoenix B.11.00 A 9000/778 2013469087 two-user license

With both cc (unbundled ANSI C compiler) and gcc (EGCS 1.1.2), it fails
while trying to compile the loadable modules with the following
error. Shouldn't configure disable loadable modules on HP-UX 11 or is there 
a bug somewhere ?

        cc -c -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H +O2  -o module.o module.c
cc: "module.c", line 306: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: ")".
cc: "module.c", line 306: error 1588: "shl_t" undefined.
cc: "module.c", line 306: error 1588: "TYPE_UNDEFINED" undefined.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

It compiles fine with --disable-dynamic.

3.1.6-pre-1 (again with all patches so far) is running fine here under
FreeBSD 4.0.

So far as I'm aware, you're the first person to try it under HP-UX 11
(unlucky) so I have no idea what should happen.  It looks like you have
HPUXDYNAMIC defined, which means there's no dlopen() etc., but there is
shl_load(), etc., which suggests it isn't that different from HP-UX 10
(and if one of those statements is wrong it would be interesting to know
why).

Ideally, we'd like to know what to change.  A quick look at HP doesn't seem
to throw up the relevant docs, so if anyone can help --- the shl_load,
shl_unload and shl_findsym manual pages might just be enough.

After looking into it, there is dlopen(3) in HP-UX 11.00... :-)
 
 dlopen(3C)                                                       dlopen(3C)

 NAME
      dlopen - open a shared object

 SYNOPSIS
      cc [flag ... ] file ...  -ldl [library] ...

      #include <dlfcn.h>
      void *dlopen(const char *file, int mode);

They even now seem to support LD_LIBRARY_PATH...
