The configure.in at the top-level of the source tree only links with +s and uses "chatr +s enable" when compiling with HP-UX's cc (see lines 487-502 approximately). However, gcc on HP-UX uses HP's ld when linking, so I would suggesting adding +s to the gcc DSO_LDOPTS (line 497 approx) thus: DSO_LDOPTS='-b +s -E -L$(DIST)/bin -L$(DIST)/lib' Also, the MOZ_POST_PROGRAM_COMMAND should be set to 'chatr +s enable' for both HP-UX cc and GNU's gcc - this can be done by moving the assignment from the HP cc section (line 495) to after the if...fi: fi MOZ_POST_PROGRAM_COMMAND='chatr +s enable' AC_DEFINE(NSCAP_DISABLE_DEBUG_PTR_TYPES) Without these change, I found that the M10 build (when compiling with gcc/g++ on HP-UX) resulted in shared libraries that didn't pick up SHLIB_PATH and apprunner/viewer binaries that also didn't pick up that variable either.

accepting bug. cc'd jdunn for comments.

Both of these look good (we just haven't built with gcc lately) r=jdunn

Jon here is the diff. r=jdunn or assign the bug to me and I will check it in Index: configure.in =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/mozilla/configure.in,v retrieving revision 1.539 diff -r1.539 configure.in 510d509 < MOZ_POST_PROGRAM_COMMAND='chatr +s enable' 512c511 < DSO_LDOPTS='-b -E -L$(DIST)/bin -L$(DIST)/lib' --- > DSO_LDOPTS='-b +s -E -L$(DIST)/bin -L$(DIST)/lib' 515a515 > MOZ_POST_PROGRAM_COMMAND='chatr +s enable'

mass set milestone to M13

punt to jdunn for checkin per conversation.

Checked in configure.in
