cfengine 2.0.2: compile problem on HPUX

[Erich Waelde]

Hello all,

I'm currently trying to compile cfengine-2.0.2 on various HPUX versions.

On HPUX 10.20/11.00_32/11.11_32 (11.x_64 not yet tried)
using 
1.  HP C-ANSI-C compiler (no GNU tools installed)
2.  openssl-0.9.6c (configure,make,make test, make install are ok)
3.  BerkeleyDB-4.0.14 (configure,make,make install are ok, but need
      chmod 555 .../BerkeleyDB.4.0/lib/libdb-4.0.sl 
          to make configure of cfengine happy)

4.  cfengine-2.0.2
    I have changed the default locations above, and configure picks
        them up correctly.

        ./configure --prefix=/opt/cfengine-2.0.2 \
      --with-openssl=/opt/openssl-0.9.6c \
      --with-berkeleydb=/opt/BerkeleyDB.4.0
    completes successfully.

        make runs a long way, but then fails on linking the executables:

    cc  -g -I/opt/BerkeleyDB.4.0/include   -L/opt/BerkeleyDB.4.0/lib \
       -L/opt/openssl-0.9.6c/lib  -L/opt/dce/lib -o cfagent  cfagent.o \
           init.o do.o wrapper.o report.o client.o  ip.o process.o ifconf.o 
image.o \
           item.o item-ext.o item-file.o 2Dlist.o  globals.o classes.o misc.o \
           parse.o functions.o edittools.o patches.o  install.o link.o tidy.o \ 
           filedir.o eval.o modes.o chflags.o locks.o  mount.o macro.o

           strategies.o -ll -ldb -lcrypto -lPW -lpthread -lm  -lc -L../pub -lpub
    /usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (cfagent.o) was \
       detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system.
    /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
       Error (first referenced in /usr/lib/libPW.a(alloca.o)) (data)
    *** Error exit code 1

    Stop.
    *** Error exit code 1

    Stop.


Interestingly it does not tell, which symbols are undefined.
I have tried this on HPUX-10.20 / 11.00_32 / 11.11_32, make quits at exactly
the same place, with the same or similar (less verbose) error messages.
Any suggestions on how to see, what bothers the linker?


Confirmations, suggestions, solutions, questions, or any other help are
indeed highly appreciated. It you need any more detailed information or log
files, I can certainly provide them.


Best regards,
Erich
