installing less on HP-UX

KPS — Mon, 09 Aug 2004 14:08:36 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to install/build less-381 on HP-UX 11i. Does anyone have any ideas how to set this up. The GNU site doesn't really offer much to do this.

Ken,

Unless you need that particular version, I would go with the depot from the Porting and Archive Center:

Here are installation instructions for less-382.

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Gnu/less-382/less-382-ss-11.00.tar.gz+less-382/HPUX.Install+text

The download page is:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/less-382/

Note that you need gettext, libiconv, termcap in order to run less. You also need gcc and make if you are compiling less from scratch.

Ken,

I should have added that the 11.0 version offered will work just fine on 11i. You'll have to click on swinstall's "install incompatible" switch, but it will work.

The links above to 'less' no longer work. Is there an alternative site to them?

Thanks in advance.
