Hi,

You were so helpful in a recent question regarding an Alpha 3000 console 
problem I had that I just had to come up with another question for you. 
 :-)  Just kidding, though I do appreciate your help.

We at Rogue Wave supply C++ object class libraries for a wide variety of 
system vendors, including DEC.  I'm trying to get the DEC C++ V5.5 compiler 
installed on several of our platforms.  The Digital UNIX V4.0 installation 
kit includes a subset for this compiler (CXXBASE550), which I've been able 
to install, but I can't get the static library package (CXXLIB550) to 
install.  The installation procedure complains that these libraries are 
unsupported on DEC UNIX after 3.2x.

The developers at Rogue Wave need these static libraries to build our 
product for use by customers.  I took a look at the installation scripts on 
the D. UNIX distro CD and found a comment stating, "For later systems, 
these (libraries) will be in the mandatory OS subset CXLLIBAnnn."  However, 
this subset does not appear on the V4.0 distribution for DEC UNIX.

Can you tell me how to go about getting the static libraries for DEC UNIX 
V4.0?

Also, on a seperate but related issue, can you tell me if the DEC C++ 
compiler supports threads?

Thanks in advance,

-- Sam

Subj:	RE: Question concerning DECC++ V5.5 availability on DEC UNIX V4.0

Sam,

Sorry we haven'yt gotten back to you. Your mail was received but must have been
overlooked by the person who handled your mail. 

Anyway, the reason that the installation procedure will not allow the class
library archive files to be installed on Digital UNIX V4.0 is that the archive
files ship with the OS rather than the compiler starting with UNIX V4.0. 

CXLLIBA400 ships with Digital UNIX and is on the Digital UNIX CDROM.  It's an
optional subset and thus is not automatically installed when DUNIX V4.0 is
installed. (libcxx.so is in the mandatory subset and is automatically
installled.)
