RE: Creating 64-bit Executables with 32-bit gcc

To Whom it may concern,

There is a 32-bit version 3.1.1 gcc compiler installed on the HPUX 11.00
server I use for development.  However, I need to create 64-bit binaries
that will link with 64-bit Oracle libraries.  What are the gcc compiler
options I need to use to create 64-bit executables?  I have spent several
days looking through the gcc documentation and have been unable to find the
option I must use.

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

HP does not have a 64 bit option within gcc.  In order to compile a 64 bit 
object, you must have a separate 64 bit version of gcc that was built by a 64 
bit compiler.  The information you need should be at

developer & solution partner portal - gcc for hp-ux 11
http://dsportal.eservices.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1

Please note that this is an old bookmark and may have changed since I got it.
However, a search on that site should pick up what is available.

When I last looked at that site, it had both source and binary.

Note that the 64 bit gcc CANNOT build a 32 bit object.  Thus you must always 
have two versions of gcc installed.  The 64 bit version of gcc also includes a 
64 bit version of binutils.
