Compiling HP PEX Applications

HP PEXlib is supported on the Series 700 workstations using shared libraries that must be linked with the application program. Only PEX programs written in C (not FORTRAN or Pascal) are supported.

When you compile your PEXlib programs, you must link the application with the PEXlib library libPEX5.

____________________________________________________________________________

Note: The PEX library is dependent on the math library.

A compile line will typically appear:

cc program.c -lPEX5 -lXext -lX11 -lm –ldld

For more information on compiling and linking PEXlib programs, see the appropriate chapters in the HP PEX Implementation and Programming Supplement.

Compiling OpenGL Applications

HP's implementation of OpenGL is supported on workstations with HP VISUALIZE-FX graphics.

To compile a program that does not use the OpenGL utilities, use a makefile that looks like this:

INCDIR= -I/opt/graphics/OpenGL/include

LIBDIR=-L/opt/graphics/OpenGL/lib

LIBS=-lGL -lXext -lX11 -lm -ldld

meow : meow.c

c89 $(INCDIR) $(LIBDIR) -o meow meow.c $(LIBS)

To compile a program that does use the OpenGL utilities, use a makefile that looks like this:

INCDIR= -I/opt/graphics/OpenGL/include

LIBDIR=-L/opt/graphics/OpenGL/lib

LIBS=-lGLU -lGL -lXext -lX11 -lm -ldld

meow : meow.c

c89 $(INCDIR) $(LIBDIR) -o meow meow.c $(LIBS)
