In that post from 1995, it said to "setenv CFLAGS '-Aa'". However, this
doesn't help. Can anyone lend a hand here?
HP-UX 10.20's default C compiler is not ANSI C, you'll need to find a site
with HPUX binaries to get a pre-compiled GCC. Note that you'll need to get
a new assembler (gas) too. I think that it comes with GNU bintools, you'll
have to get a pre-compiled package too.
I did this once but I had help from HP in order to locate a site with the
needed "depots" (that's a package in HP language). I'm afraid that I don't
have the URL anymore... But, I did a quick search and located gcc-2.95.2 in
http://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk (do a search by gcc), I'm not sure if you still
need bintools with this package. Addicionally good pointers for HP-UX bins
can be found in http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/zip/unzip.html (yes,
in the INFO-ZIP page).
GCC and GNU Bin-tools are the bare bones, I'm not an HPUX expert, but my
fealing about it is that you need to get a lot of GNU software before it
starts working like a normal UNIX.
