Hi-
We just got a 9000/370 system with HP-UX 6.5. It came with HP's X11
product. All of our code was compile on our 320 (HP-UX 6.2), so we used
the library that the ld(1) says we need to with old relocatables
referencing setjmp/longjmp (libsetjmp.a). Now for some problems...
-We have some routines that do terminal forms for HP terminals. On
HP Windows/9000 we used a term0 window and on X11 we use hpterm(1).
This worked fine on our 320 (HP-UX 6.2, X11), but not on our
370 (HP-UX 6.5, X11). We end up getting what looks like the end of an
escape sequence for video enhancements (&dB ...field... &d@) when we
read and rewrite the field values upon entering the form. It appears
as though the hpterm(1) shipped with X11 at HP-UX 6.5 is busted.
-We have a program to handle graphics to a window created by the
xwcreate(1) command. Our code was compiled w/ 6.2, ld'd w/ 6.5, and it
gets a segmentation violation on startup.
-Is it possible to ld HP-UX 6.5 compiled code on HP-UX 6.2? This stuff
is software that we will be shipping to customers, so recompiling
everything under HP-UX 6.5 is not something we can ship. Unless there
is not other way...
Now before I get to far into destroying my brain cells by trying to
figure out precisely what's going wrong, I want to see if anyone has any
ideas or knows of any problems/workarounds with HP's 6.5 HP-UX, X11.
We're working on getting software over there and compiled with the
symbolic debug options turned on...
Thanx for any help!
