Hey Matt! Thanks for the reply. I *JUST* got it to work. Keep in mind, I am not a programmer by any stretch of the term. I couldn’t get it to compile with Compaq C. First, it was looking for stdint.h which is not part of Compaq C. You can sometimes get around this by creating a stdint.h with #include <inttypes.h> as long as what the compiler is looking for is part of inttypes.h. In this case, that wasn’t enough. The linker kept looking for two/three “objects/libraries?” that are not part of Compaq C, at least I don’t think they are or maybe I need to add some additional flags to find them...
Ld: Unresolved: __bswapsi2 __bswapdi2 __udivti3 __multi3 GCC 4.7.4 was able to compile it after I made a change to two .c files to change the references from nanosleep to usleep. From what I can tell, nanosleep is not part of the time.h that is on Alpha and it seems like the GCC install simply copied the time.h that is already present on the system. In svr-auth.c I also had to change the usleep(&delay, &delay) to a static value, I picked usleep(10000). The two .c files that I had to edit for nanosleep are: svr-auth.c scp.c I had to change tomcrypt_cfg.h as it doesn’t understand the endianness of Alpha. Changes to tomcrypt_cfg.h: #error Cannot detect endianness Became: #define ENDIAN_LITTLE The Makefile needed a small change to allow the install to work, the install command that is in Tru64 isn’t good enough so I am using the GNU install: INSTALL=install Became: INSTALL=/usr/local/bin/install I compiled with: env cc=/usr/local/gcc474/bin/gcc ./configure —with-zlib=/usr/local gmake If you have a suggestion for a better way to accomplish what I have changed, or if it shouldn’t have been necessary please let me know.
