[Devel] HPUX 10.0 compile of freetype and Jam

[David Smith]

Greetings,
I am trying to build FreeType 2.6 on HPUX 10. Has anyone had any luck?

When I use the default Makefile in jam 2.3.5 downloaded from the freetyp site I 
get errors due to the CC compiler being non-ansi. When I change so that the
ansi compiler is used (either cc -Aa or c89) I get errors in execunix.c about 
EINTR not being defined. 

When I build the freetype library using make I get the behavior that the sl is 
version 8 (instead of version 6) (thank you libtool) which causes other 
problems for me (such as the name being forced as an internal name, the path 
being forced, librarys is shared but statically loaded, etc...). What I am 
trying to do is build a shared, dynamic load library with the same name on all 
platforms. This is then being used as part of a CAD system for font handling. 
Works find on AIX, Solaris, Linux, Windows NT. Not so good on HPUX 10.

I can go and modify the way the sl is built by going around libtool but would 
appreciate some incite into why libtool does what it is doing (in terms of 
name, forcing an internal name, +b enabled forcing a fixed location on install, 
+s disabled so that SH_LIBPATH does not work, why the library is shared but 
statically linked, etc...).

Thanks for any hlpe.

David
