Hello

i have been tasked to manage the omniORB installation on our
development machines. On a new HP-UX machine with 11i v2 (11.23) IA64 i
get a fatal error from "ld" when trying to compile omniORB 4.0.7 :

ld: Unrecognized argument: -soname
Fatal error.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[4]: *** [_omniidlmodule.sl.1.0] Error 1
gmake[4]: Leaving directory
`/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/tool/omniidl/cxx'
gmake[3]: *** [export] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/tool/omniidl'
gmake[2]: *** [export] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/tool'
gmake[1]: *** [export] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 1

In fact the HP "ld" does not support the "-soname" so any hints where i
can alter this without breaking the build?

It looks like you are trying to use the HP ld with gcc. The makefiles
assume that you're using GNU ld if you're using gcc. If you used the
configure script, you need to edit the HPUX section in
mk/beforeauto.mk.in; if you used the old platform configuration
mechanism, you need to edit the platform file you chose.

Cheers,

Duncan.

Thanxs for your hint

i changed the mk/beforeauto.mk.in to not include the "-soname" but now
i got trouble with Python/IDL. I have used the minimal Python binary
from the project website and set the PYTHON env to this binary. It is
recognized but something does not work as expected :

gmake[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/lib/omnithread'
making export in src/lib/omniORB...
gmake[3]: Entering directory
`/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/lib/omniORB'
../../../bin/omniidl -bcxx -Wba -p../../../../src/lib/omniORB -Wbdebug
-v -ComniORB4 ../../../../idl/Naming.idl

omniidl: ERROR!

omniidl: Could not open IDL compiler module _omniidlmodule.so
omniidl: Please make sure it is in directory
/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/lib
omniidl: (or set the PYTHONPATH environment variable)

omniidl: (The error was 'Failed to load
/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/lib/_omniidlmodule.sl')

Strange the file is there :

Is this Python just too old or do miss something?

I assume that you have created 64-bit _omniidlmodule.so in the compile
process. If that is true, then the failure indicates that 32-bit Python was
not able to load 64-bit module: you will have to get or compile 64-bit
Python as well.

The next one ...
I have fetched the source from Python.org and compiled it succesfully.

# /var/install/Python-2.4.3/python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
With this i tried a new build and get the following :

Ayn hints if it is possible to build omniORB 4.0.7 at all on HP-UX with
gcc/g++??

Thanxs & Regards

HP-UX/Itanium requires an extension of .so instead of .sl. You will need to
change beforemake.mk.in and src/tool/omniidl/cxx/dir.mk. The dir.mk file
hard-codes the module name as _omniidlmodule.sl, while the beforemake file
determines all the other library extensions.

There is one other problem. Configure doesn't check for a system supplied
alloca.h and, as a result, it defaults to the omniORB supplied one when
building omnicpp. A quick and dirty fix is to edit acconfig.h after running
configure to add a #define HAVE_ALLOCA and a #include <alloca.h>.

I haven't tried building this with gcc/g++, but I've successfully built it
using HP's AnsiC and aCC compilers.

Eric
