I'm facing this very problem...
I compile an image under OpenVMS for Alpha V7.1, DEC C V5.5-002
and DECC$SHR X07.1-3. The object file is then moved onto other
systems, where it gets linked.
A user reported this Undefined DECC$$GL_CTYPET symbol while
linking on a system running Alpha V6.1. I sort of understand
the solution that's proposed (get the V6.1 DECC$SHR and compile
against it), but this may not be the total answer to my case!
Also note that the same .OBJ links fine on a Alpha V6.2 system
running DECC$SHR T06.2-05...
Question 1: should I worry about the same problem when running
against OpenVMS VAX (ie: is this problem Alpha
specific)?
Question 2: my .OBJ may eventually end up on OpenVMS older than
6.1, what other problem could potentially surface?
What is the earliest version of DECC$SHR I should use
to guarantee the best coverage (ideally from Alpha V1.0
upwards if at all possible...)
Thanks in advance for your help, .Andre.

The DEC C compiler looks in the RTL to see what entry points are
around, so yes, you have to worry about this on both platforms.

DIGITAL has been making a concerted effort to get folks upgraded
off of OpenVMS Alpha V1.0, V1.5, and V1.5-1H1 -- the minimum version
is OpenVMS Alpha V6.1. (And I suspect you will not want to become
entangled in the support issues for these older releases, too...)
To "guarantee", you need to compile, link, test, and ship code built
on OpenVMS Alpha V1.0 (or whateer is the oldest release you want to
support).
If you need back-support, I'd recommend pulling forward the RTLs,
and LINK against the older RTLs. (Back-shipping objects and LINKing
on the customer system can be made to work, but I'd prefer to know
more about the particular images the customer is running -- which
means I prefer to avoid linking on the customer system. Customers
tend to do weird and unpredictable things with LNK$ logical names,
with system library contents, with symbols for DCL commands, with
weird logical names and directory structures, etc.)

| For both Alpha and VAX, I would recommend that you compile against an
OpenVMS V6.1 DECC$SHR image. The easiest way to obtain such beasts
would be to grab the latest ECO kits off the web.
Today the latest are ALPACRT09_061 and VAXACRT09_061.

Duane, are you (hopefully) bumping the GSMATCH IDs? If so, then grabbing
the latest ECO kit won't work. (One _does_ want to have these kits
installed, but it's not clear if .0 wants to _require_ these kits.)
If you do not have access to the necessary distribution kits, I or others
can ship you copies of the "shipped-on-the-V6.1-kit" DECC$SHR images.
