Test your program on the current system so you have a copy
of the results.
Use the tar
command (see the HP-UX Reference manual)
with the cv options
to transfer the source files you want to migrate to tape.
Use the tar
command with the r
option to transfer any associated data files to tape.
Install the source files and any related data files
on the HP 9000 workstation or server using the tar
command with the x
option.
Check your makefiles for any implementation-specific
options. Change programs depending on implementation-specific command
options. On HP-UX systems, these options are generally preceded
by -W or +,
and may include options to be passed to ld
or cpp. You can
optionally include the -g
option to permit symbolic debugging.
Review Chapter 5 “Programming for Portability ”
and “Practices to Avoid ” and check over
the source code for system-dependent programming. (If the source
files are extensive, you may want to skip this step and catch errors
when you run lint
or compile.)
Search for instances of #include
files and make sure that the files or routines included appear in
the correct directory or library on the HP 9000 workstation or server.
Run lint,
a C program checker that verifies source code and prints warning
messages about problems with the source code style, efficiency,
portability, and consistency.
Compile the program on the HP 9000 workstation or
server using the cc
command. (Refer to the HP C/HP-UX Reference Manual
for details about the cc
command and options, and explanations of error, warning, and panic
messages.) Change the source code to resolve any messages you receive.
Recompile the program until you receive no messages.
Link the program. The linker reports any symbols
that cannot be found.
Run the program on the HP 9000 workstation or server.
Compare the results with those received on the original computer.
