[Info-vax] GTK and/or up-to-date OpenVMS Porting Library for IA64?

[SMS]

   Sorry for the delay.  I've been off beating on OpenSSL for a
while.  (I'm _so_ easily distracted.)

   Well, if that GTK still needs the Porting Library, then they
must have some kit which beats what's generally available,
because the best I've found is what's at:

      http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/porting.html

which is old (2003), and seems to be limited to VAX and Alpha.

   Not a great guess:

I'm pretty sure that that VMS_JACKETS.H is actually
VMS_JACKETS.H.    Now, my old, obsolete VMS_JACKETS.H may be too
old and obsolete to work well with VMS V8.3-1H1, but if some
people would publish some newer, better stuff, I'd be willing
to give it a try.  I quit when I hit the compiler complaints, but now
that I've looked around a little more, I see that there are also
run-time objects and images which are only for VAX and/or Alpha, so
the
tired header file may actually be the least of my worries.  (And the
Porting Library builders seem to use a GNU "make", for which only VAX
and Alpha executables are provided, and the makefile.vms looks to be
doomed on IA64, too.)

   So ask 'em exactly what they're using, and whence they got it all.

   I try to avoid "bash" (on VMS).  (Call me old-fashioned.)
