Math library for Alpha Tru64

Math library for Alpha Tru64

[Adrián Bravo Navarro]

Hi all

I come to you looking for some light ;) We are developing an application
that needs to link statically math.h. I've been looking for libm.a for
Tru64 Alpha with no success at all. System comes with .so so but i think
it's not possible converting .so into .a 
Any help is welcome.

Thanks
Adrián

Sorry, wrong list.  I suggest trying to find a Tru64 Alpha forum.

Two obervations:

libm.a is provided by libc, not by gcc.

If you need to link statically with libm on a system that deliberately
doesn't provide it, you are doing something very wrong.

Having said all that, are you absolutely sure there isn't a developer
library that contains libm.a that you haven't installed?  OS vendors
typically put static archives in separate packages.
