Top Forums Programming AIX linker oddities...what is going on? Post 302491559 by DreamWarrior on Thursday 27th of January 2011 06:04:26 PM

I'll check out libtool...but we've already fought to get some freeware tools installed and it was hard enough to win those battles...I'm not sure I want to fight another yet, lol.

As for Corona's Q: as far as developing goes, I've just felt that HP-UX has been the easiest to work with. Things just seem to compile and run well and as expected.

Jumping over to Linux I've been hit with times when an application just randomly seems to die and the core file is useless. We never had that in HP-UX, if it core'd we could use the core and figure out what happened. Plus, much of the code in Linux is the same as it was in HP-UX and the code ran more stable in HP-UX. Could it be our code...sure...but many of the times we have tracked down issues it was because Linux was just less tolerant or, worse, buggy itself and we had to code around its issues.

AIX is somewhere in between. It does seem pretty stable compared to Linux. However, sometimes intuition and AIX just don't go hand in hand. It is as if IBM went out of their way to do something just different enough to mess with you, lol -- like this weird linker crap, lol. While it is more stable...nothing else in it is better than Linux, IMO. They just run away with things like a Microsoft...trying to make it better than other people's stuff but getting in their own way when doing so.

redland-config(1)					      General Commands Manual						 redland-config(1)

NAME
redland-config - script to get information about the installed version of Redland SYNOPSIS
redland-config [--cflags] [--help] [--libs] [--libtool-libs] [--prefix[=DIR]] [--private-libs] [--version-decimal] [--version] DESCRIPTION
redland-config is a tool that is used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the Redland RDF library. OPTIONS
redland-config accepts the following options: --version Print the currently installed version of redland on the standard output. --version-decimal Print the currently installed version of redland as a decimal integer. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a redland program. This excludes linker arguments used to build the librdf shared library. --libtool-libs Print the flags that are necessary to link a redland program with libtool. --private-libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to build the librdf shared library. This option is not usually needed because the librdf shared library has already been dynamically linked against these libs. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a redland program. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that redland was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. SEE ALSO
