how to build a C program?

Lalo_Weng — Mon, 08 Jul 2002 07:33:21 GMT

Hi,

I have source code need to rebuild on new 64bit OS. I notice that I have makefiles and source .C files. But how can I perform the rebuild on HP-UX? Which C compiler I need?

Thanks.

Hi
This depends on the source code. There is a simple c compiler bundled with the OS but for more "serious" program development you need the C/ANSI compiler (B3988BA (workstation) or B3901BA (server)).

Hi,
Search for the README file with the source , which will contain instructions for compiling
the source files.

Edit makefile and customise it according to your requirements. go to the directory where
your source files are located and give make
command.

Hi,

You say "and source .C files"
As you have used a capital C in .C this
would normally indicate that your source-code
is C++.
In that case you need ansi/c++ compiler and
not the c/ansi-c compiler.

Check if you have the aCC compiler
using this command:

whereis aCC
If you get something like this:

aCC: /opt/aCC/bin/aCC /opt/aCC/share/man/man1.Z/aCC.1

you have the aCC compiler installed

Regards
Olav

AnSI C Compiler is a good way, but you have to pay for it !!!!
gcc is also possible and you can download it at a portal center (don't forget binutils) this is the compiler that I use most often for many open sources softwares.
About 64 bits, a real 64 bits program mean specific sources where you declare the availability of the high addressing...
If your c files are not specific 64 bits, you don't have to compile them again !!

If you want to go the gcc route, the web site is:
