Re: [Bug-gsl] GSL Build on HPUX-11 Problems

[Warren Gray]

The -g option won't work in the HP's cc compiler. But adding
-DGSL_C99_INLINE
was tried without success. The cc compiler we have is old (pre C99). The
HPUX
aCC compiler would probably work, but I no longer have access to that one.

To make it build, I found that if I commented out the HAVE_INLINE in the
config.h file, it would build successfully.

It seems that the gsl/gsl_inline.h file is not doing the right thing for
this
old cc compiler. Obviously the ./configure tests noted that it has inline
capability, but somehow the generated object code is duplicating the
symbols of inlined routines.

Perhaps the ./configure tests can be expanded to configure this in
an improved way?

Even though I got the project to build ok at this point, I found that the
"make check" doesn't get very far.  I'll have to investigate this further
when I get more time. In a nutshell, the compiler options are not being
fully respected, since I get the message:

    ld: Mismatched ABI (not an ELF file) for test.o

This is probably because the test module compiled the default ABI, while
I have specified +DA2.0W for a 64 bit build.

I'll try to followup with a proper log about that later when I have a few
moments.

I didn't get to the AIX issue yet... later.

Thanks, Warren.
