VMS C++ compiler?

Alexander_84 — Fri, 06 Aug 2004 00:16:06 GMT

I was just wondering is there any C++ compiler for OpenVMS 7.2-1? I tried to compile a C++ program using the cc command. But, it generated the error as, "#include is not found". Could any one tell me, is there any c++ compiler built-in with OpenVMS 7.2-1?

Thanks in advance.

Yes there is, but you need to install it I think. if it is installed, you can do

$ cxx ...

If you get "unrecognised command verb", it is not installed :-)

Hi,

There is the link to the OpenVMS C++ page (description, documentation etc...) http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/cplus/cplus_index.html

There is also a port of GCC for OpenVMS, but I dont know the exact site for downloading. Maybe some other guy will post this link (I also want to try it).

Hi,
AFAIK for OpenVms, until today, it's avaiable only legacy version of HP.
GNU version is not yet avaiable for this platform but I hope will be soon as other open source produtcs such as Java, MySql, Perl, PHP, etc. See here for open source product http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensource/opensource.html

Alexander, if you want use HP C++ youe have 3 choices:
1) Buy C++ from your HP vendor;
2) If you have to use C++ for your own scope (not commercial) you can require hobbyst license here http://www.openvmshobbyist.org/
3) If you need compiler for your business and your business is sofware factory use DSPP program
