ruby-1.8.1 build failed on HP-UX 10

[Bil Kleb]

I found a Japanese note about this in the developer list,

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-dev/22418

but even with the help of Excite's english translation, I wasn't able to tell
if patch shown at the bottom was supposed to fix the problem for HP-UX 11.

It does not seem to for HP-UX 10,

Hi,

At Fri, 23 Jan 2004 13:01:47 +0900,

I found a Japanese note about this in the developer list,

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-dev/22418

but even with the help of Excite's english translation, I wasn't able to tell
if patch shown at the bottom was supposed to fix the problem for HP-UX 11.

Try the patch in [ruby-dev:22420].

have_library: checking for tgetent() in -ltinfo... -------------------- yes

"gcc -o conftest -I/home/kleb/local/src/ruby-1.8.1 -I/home/kleb/local/src/ruby-1.8.1 -g -O2 co
nftest.c -L"/home/kleb/local/src/ruby-1.8.1" -L"/home/kleb/local/lib" -E -lruby-static -
ltinfo -ldld -lcrypt -lm -lc"
gcc: -lruby-static: linker input file unused because linking not done

Due to -E, gcc does only preprocess and never fail.
