CDE libraries - native support for Itanium®-based systems available in patch (CrCh252)

Problem description

Native 32-bit CDE libraries for Itanium®-based systems are available in patch PHSS_31110 for HP-UX 11i v2.

The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) on Itanium®-based systems is actually a set of 32-bit PA-RISC executables and libraries that run under the Aries binary translator. Patch PHSS_31110 delivers native libraries to let you port your applications to Itanium®-based systems.

HP-UX does not support 64-bit CDE libraries on PA-RISC or Itanium®-based systems.

Solution description

To build native CDE applications on Itanium®-based systems, use the HP-UX Developer's Toolkit and patch PHSS_31110.

The HP-UX Developer's Toolkit delivers the CDE header files and symbolic links to the native CDE shared libraries. Patch PHSS_31110 delivers the libraries. To link with them, use the -L/usr/dt/lib/hpux32 linker option.

Note that this patch does not include archive libraries.
