Re: Linking shared libraries on hpux 10.20 with gcc 2.92.1 fails !!

[Eric Ladner <clad at chevron dot com>]

Try this instead:

g++ -fpic -c a.C
g++ -fpic -c b.C
ld -b a.o b.o -o x.sl

This works for me.  I've had problems in the past with g(cc/++)'s
-shared
flag on HP-UX.  This makes the linker do it.
