hello..that's me another time..
now i've the following problem
andrea@chisone:~/Desktop/materiale_tesi> source
../programmi_per_tesi/eldk/eldk_init 4xxARCH=ppc

/ppc_blcr/builddir/ppc_blcr/builddir/lib//libcr_run.a(libcr_run_la-cr_run.o):
In function `cri_init':
/home/andrea/Desktop/blcr-0.7.3/builddir/libcr/../../libcr/cr_libinit.c:148:
warning: Using 'dlopen' in statically linked applications requires at
runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
what would be the matter?
I'm trying to create an application which will be checkpointed and
restarted from another application
(via system("cr_checkpoint pid")..)
i think that the "restarter" doesn't need the link with blcr..
the file to be checkpointed doesn't work and give me an error
blcr: retry request on -CR_ENOSUPPORT
Checkpoint failed: support missing from application
thanks for any suggestions..
