Archive-name: auto/comp.mail.mh/MH-and-shared-libs-on-HP-UX-ver-8-0x Hi, I have developed a set of diffs relative to MH 6.7.2 (with the MIME patches) to port MH to HP-UX 8.0x. With these changes, MH will generate a shared MH library, much in the same way as under SunOS, thus saving some disk space. The resulting programs have not been thoroughly tested (I'm not yet up to speed on MH), but "inc" does at least work, and that's an indication that I've not messed up with the shared librariy at least. vmh needs work, though -- all I get is "vmh: lost peer". Oh, well... I haven't tested this code on any other platform after applying these changes, but it "should work" as before. The diffs are some 23K all in all, and are available with anonymous FTP from ugle.unit.no in the pub/unix/mail/ as mh-6.7.2-hpux-sharedlibs.diffs. I have sent a similar note to this one to MH-Workers@ics.uci.edu, but haven't heard back from them yet (or a message is lying unread among my 300 other unread messages...) One thing I'm not sure was wise which these changes implement, was to include a version number in the name of the shared library, since the dynamic loader on HP-UX doesn't search for libraries the way SunOS does. In the hope that this proves useful to some, - Havard
