Hi People,
I've been give the source code for a C program that I'm to compile using the GCC compiler. The system is running HP-UX.

So I followed the simple instructions I have and it gave me an executable file. Sounds good so far.

Unfortunately as soon as i run the executable it fails.

Are their any simple options I can use during the compile or at execution to give me some diagnostics on the failure?

Cheers
Phil

The program creates a file that it is supposed to. And then vanishes and a core file arrives. (the core file being some kind of process/memory dump I presume).

I'll have a look into your suggestions

Thx

tusc gave me what appears to be some usefull information.

Thanks
