NFS is designed to never get killed by anybody but to wait. You know the Hitchhiker's Guide (was it)? Remember the story where the spaceship didn't leave before the planet died because no tissues for the passengers were delivered to the ship. So the automatic ship controls (nfsd) decide not to leave. In fact the control program knew that every life on planet would die, but decided to wait because if you wait long enough the lifeforms will return and some small day tissues will be available again. ;-) | > Maybe force --with-dynamic to be yes. | | Hmm.

I had soem problems with --with-dynamic={yes,no} when building XEmacs on 9.05. | Is src/s/hpux10.h correct here? | I skiped HP-UX 10.20 almost completely with regards to XEmacs beta testing. But as far as I remember there were some build reports: http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-build-reports/9901/msg00024.html This was the last one from the mail archives (xemacs-build-reports) and with no problems reported. | Which again would be shared, but ld chokes on the -Wl,-E (which would be | appropriate if cc -Wl,-E which passes -E to linker stage). I never managed to build XEmacs on HP-UX 9.x with HP C compiler. The one we had at our department was unusable because nobody cared about it. I always used gcc with HP-UX 9.05. So I can tell. | One (unrelated) thing I did notice between hpux9-shr.h and hpux10-shr.h. | hpux10-shr.h: | | /* We must turn off -g since it forces -static. */ | #ifdef __GNUC__ | #undef C_DEBUG_SWITCH | #define C_DEBUG_SWITCH | #endif | | But hpux9-shr.h has that disabled: | | #if 0 /* No longer needed, since in current GCC -g no longer does that. | */ | /* We must turn off -g since it forces -static. */ | #ifdef __GNUC__ | #undef C_DEBUG_SWITCH | #define C_DEBUG_SWITCH | #endif | #endif | | Maybe the hpux10-shr.h also be #if 0'ed? Same in hpux11-shr.h. For sure these file could be cleaned up a little, I guess. --Marcus
