Problems compiling OpenSSH [no version info] on HP-UX 10.20 was: (no subject)
Aloha Jiwen (I used to get kama'aina discounts, but no longer)-- First, you didn't tell us what OpenSSH source code version you're trying to compile. Without that info there are any number of possible problems--so I'll assume (for now) that you're using the latest released portable version of OpenSSH. Please reply with specific version info. The fact that things are blowing up during the configure script tells me that you may have a problem that has more to do with the shell interpreter than with the compiler--if you've got a working compiler, you might have some luck just by compiling and installing a recent bash(1) or your favorite flavor of shell. Nevertheless: If you're installing an almost brand new version of GCC on a very old version of HP-UX--are you sure that the compiler works properly? Have you tried other reasonable tests, like using GCC to compile itself natively? And (since this has been a problem for me before with weird error messages) did you compile all the necessary support libraries yourself? (Things like OpenSSL and zlib)? If not, then where did you get those support libraries? Going back to the configure script issue and probable causes: The specific problem you're seeing isn't one I've seen before, but I've compiled OpenSSH on HP-UX 10.20 before and had no issues (well, apart from the fact that IIRC there were issues with translating hostnames and IPs into things useful to log...or was that an antiquated IRIX version?). I'll take a look tomorrow and see if I've still got a useful HP-UX 10.20 compile host and what GCC version it has installed, and then try to compile latest OpenSSH (and the pre-release version that we've all been asked to try.) Overall, though, I'm betting on a non-fun interaction between really-really-old Bourne shell implementations, recent configure scripts, and general HP-UX oddities. --Rip -- Rip Loomis, CISSP // SAIC Enterprise Security Solutions Brainbench MVP for Internet Security www.brainbench.com> -----Original Message----- > From: > openssh-unix-dev-bounces+gilbert.r.loomis=cpmx.saic.com at mindro > t.org > [mailto:openssh-unix-dev-bounces+gilbert.r.loomis=cpmx.saic.co > m at mindrot.org] On Behalf Of Jiwen Liu > Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 5:26 PM > To: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org > Subject: (no subject) > > > Hi All, > > I got email address from www.openssh.com and I think it might > be a good > resource that can provide some helps on my problem. > > I have a problem during running configure script.

Must have been the IRIX version. :-) Bob
