The date and time of compilation are stamped into the object code. This means that you will always have a different binary and a different checksum.

I want to move my program files from to a different directory. The problem is that the path to the programs are contained in the object code. I know that the debugger won't work if the program is a different place than the object code thinks it is. That being said, I'd like to recompile all of the programs after moving the directory. For a lot of reasons, that scares me. Does anyone know how to check for differences between 2 versions of object code? Here is what I've tried so far... 1) Copy BP file 2) Recompile program 3) copy original object code to a test directory as "LIVE" 4) remove program path from last line of this file. 5) copy new object code to a test directory as "TEST" 6) remove program path from lastl line of this file. 7) execute unix diff for LIVE to TEST ans: There are small differences but since they are unprintable characters, I don't know what they are. 8) execute unix cksum on both file and compare ans: The check sum is different every time. Thanks a lot for any ideas that you might have. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
