Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 12:41:24 +0100 From: blacky@xanaxis.dyndns.org Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get ld to compile for sparc-netware ? The linker has no support for sparc-netware. The line in configure.tgt *-*-netware) targ_emul=${target_cpu}-nw ;; is a bug--it should not be there at all. You need to add an entry in configure.tgt for sparc-netware, and a file in emulparams for your new entry, and you need to add the new emulation to the list in Makefile.am, and you need to add the dependencies for it. See ld/ldint.texinfo. Note that to the best of my knowledge, SPARC NetWare never worked at all. i386 NetWare more or less worked, PowerPC NetWare nearly worked but was never really tested, Alpha NetWare was able to run a test program or two but I think it relied on compiler patches which never made it into gcc after the project collapsed, SPARC NetWare and HPPA NetWare were never finished. The whole notion of Processor Independent NetWare was a peculiar reaction of Novell to the pending release of Windows NT; it didn't make much business sense, and the implementation was, in my opinion, technically inappropriate. Instead of taking over the whole system as a NetWare server, they should have written a portable server which could run as a process under Unix. Ian ------ Want more information?
