GNU Make for HP-UX

Alain Yoshida — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 12:36:20 GMT

Our hp-ux 11 already have a make, but it is not GNU make. Any Make can work with GCC, or we must install GNU Make to work with GCC. Thanks.

Not a very detailed description of anything.

uname -a

"make" programs do not care which compilers
you use, so using GCC does not mean that you
need GNU "make".

However, different "make" programs may
support different "make" features, so, if you
wish to build some particular product, and
the "make" file for that product uses GNU
"make" features which the HP-UX "make"
program does not understand, then you'll
probably want to install GNU "make". (Much
GNU software expects to use GNU "make".)

If you install GNU "make" in "/usr/local",
then it's easy to do something like:

ln -s make /usr/local/bin/gmake

Then, if your PATH has "/usr/local/bin"
toward the end, you can say "make" when you
wish to use the HP-UX "make" program, and
"gmake" when you wish to use GNU "make".

Hi,

You can find a ready to install gmake binary depot in:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/make-3.82/

Also this HP-UX official site provides you brief documentation about it. Also you can see related URL to GNU site.

Rgds.
