Expires: References: Sender: Followup-To: Distribution: Keywords: Has anyone successfully brought C++ (any version) up under Data General's DG/UX Unix or native AOS/VS OS? DG machines have a number of architectural peculiarities (word-addressed, stack grows upwards, etc), but the biggest problem is that the DG/UX ld is just a port of the AOS/VS linker, breaking the multiple-ld invocation mechanism by which static constructors are implemented. Please send me email if you have made a working C++ under DG/UX or AOS/VS, or know someone who has. Thanks. -- Jon Leech (leech@cs.unc.edu) __@/ "The idea of ``picking up where Apollo left off'' in lunar exploration is a chimera. There is nothing to pick up; when we dropped it, it broke."

Expires: References: Sender: Followup-To: Keywords: I have completed a port of 1.2 to DG/UX, the native Unix on DG machines. Significant and painful changes were required, mainly to makefiles, include files, shell scripts, and the 'patch' program, but also a few changes in cfront itself, so anyone who wants C++ on DG/UX might want to contact me for the mods. Many of these changes may also be useful for someone attempting a port to AOS/VS. -- Jon Leech (leech@cs.unc.edu) __@/ "The idea of ``picking up where Apollo left off'' in lunar exploration is a chimera.
