Re: 64bit HPUX problems

[ross . alexander]

Albert et al,

The change to config.guess is to detect whether the compiler is set produce
64bit
code.  The concensus (I think) is that hppa2.0w represents a 64bit OS with
32bit
tools where as hppa*64* represents a 64bit tool chain.  A design decision
was made
by myself that libtool itself will not  check for the 64bit environment.
Either the user
will specify it with the --build flag or config.guess will detect (if that
change is allowed).

As for hardcode_into_libs, these values where taken from the IA64 values as
this is
an HPUX ELF system, which is actually much closer in behaviour to PA64
behaviour
than the 32bit SOM environment.  However, I'm easy and if anybody comes out
with
a categorical statement either way, I'll go that way.

It does fix the problem with -R poluting the $deplibs variable.  All I need
is some pointers
to exactly which lines on code I should be looking at.

Cheers,

Ross

Why did you have to modify config.guess? I have it detecting my 64-bit
HP-UX 11.11 box as hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11.

I would set hardcode_into_libs=yes on HP-UX. At least on 10.20 and
11.x. It's current the default for IA64 only.
