Programming

The elfdump option to have a look at the header and see the architecture, use "man elfdump".

I've just checked and my PA-RISC HP 11.11 has elfdump.

Try "elfdump -f libraryname".

*** ELF Header ***

Meanwhile I am no closer to a solution to my first question of how do I create an ELF library from my c programs?

Are you compiling 64 bit code?

The library you have is for PA-RISC 2.0 in 64 bit mode.

Are you using the following

Code:

CC=cc
CXX=aCC
CFLAGS=+DD64
CXXFLAGS=+DD64

or for gcc

Code:

CC=gcc
CXX=c++
CFLAGS=-mlp64
CXXFLAGS=-mlp64

That tallies with one of my 64 bit PA-RISC libraries

Code:

                *** ELF Header ***

That was it. Thanks.
