Compiling emacs 20.7 on HP-UX 10.20

Hi,
I'm rather new to HP-UX. I have tried to compile emacs 20.7 using the default install method i.e.
./configure
make
but somehow it doesn't seems to be able to compile properly and eventually it will report error compiling with some linking problems, with either -lXaw, -lXmu or -lXm not found.

Does anyone knows the problem to this? I'm compiling it on a HP9000 800 series. What are the options I have to provide with the configure script? Do I need to compile it using gcc??

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

why compiling emacs.
There is an already compiled version of emacs at the HP-UX porting center:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Editors/emacs-20.7/
After download you have to unzip the file with gzip -d
and then install it with
swinstall -s /

Regards
