libelf in rpm-4.2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am trying to port rpm-4.2 to various other Unixes (AIX, HP/UX, OSF
etc) using the vendor supplied compilers.  The sources for libelf in
the rpm tree are full of GCCisms (features.h, __attribute__
decorations, macros using __typeof), so I was wondering what libelf
is actually used for in rpm?

It seems as though rpmdb/legacy.c needs it to support rpm 3.0 era
packages, which I don't need since any rpms I install will be with
the rpm-4.2 package I am trying to build right now.  Is libelf
needed for anything else?  Can I expect rpm to work properly if
I get it to compile and link without libelf?

Cheers,
	Gary.
