Any help/suggestion is highly appreciated.

I would like to update the C, C++ and aC++ compilers.
I have checked that the latest version of these compilers shipped with the
application CDs are:

B3901BA B.10.20.15 HP C/ANSI C Developer's B
undle for HP-UX 10.20 (S800)
B3913CB B.10.20.09 HP C++ Compiler S800
B3913DB A.01.21.15 HP aC++ Compiler S800

What is the best way to upgrade these compilers? Install the latest patch (any
idea on the patch ID?) or re-install the whole product?

On HP-UX 11 wdb is available. Does this UI also exist for HP-UX 10.20?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind Regards,

Rui.

My experience with compilers has always been to uninstall them and install the newer version from scratch. Unless you are patching it that is. I found some info on wdb that may be useful to you. I clipped the text from HP's wdb pages.

"The HP WDB 2.1 debugger is an HP-supported implementation of the GDB debugger. It supports source-level debugging of object files written in HP C, HP aC++, Fortran 90, and FORTRAN77 on HP-UX Release 10.20 and later."

Maybe someone else can give you more help on this topic than I can.

Good Luck,
Jason V.

My experience is that each new version of these compilers goes in a different directory structure . Thus for example , aC++ ver 1.0 might go in /opt/aCC and aC++ 1.2 might go in /opt/aCC12 directory. This gives the developers the option of continuing to use their programs with either old compiler or use the new compiler.
However taking a backup prior to upgrading the versions is not a bad idea.

Thanks
