In attempting to re-compile under HPUX a library I maintain on several UNIX platforms,
my Makefile terminates with the following:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libbfd-2.9.1.sl.0
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
I'm told this host has undergone a major OS upgrade since I last compiled, so after
make failed I went to re-run configure, but that
no longer recognizes the host type ("checking host system type... Invalid
configuration `hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11': machine
`hppa2.0w-hp' not recognized"), and the Makefiles built have the wrong compiler flags
and ultimately fail with the same error as the
original Makefile.
Next I thought I'd build and run autoconf (plus automake and any other needed tools)
on this HP to re-create the configure script,
but I cannot successfully build autoconf, automake, m4, or libtool. Attempts to
compile m4 and libtool fail with the same
"/usr/lib/dld.sl...libbfd..." error; autoconf won't build without GNU m4. Running the
automake Makefile doesn't err off, but there
seem to be lots of empty symbols and "No suffix list" messages.
I believe I originally built the configure script for my library with autoconf 2.13.
The version I've been attempting to build is
2.50.
Any suggestions? Does anyone know what "libbfd" is?
Thanks,
Doug
