HP-UX Itanium compiler

[MissX]

Hello, I would like to ask whether there is any other free compiler for HP-UX itanium aside from gcc. My server already have bundled (HP C/aC++) and gcc but both failed to run the command 'make' for acusql without warning though.

This is the error:

(Bundled) cc: warning 922: "Ae" is unsuppoerted in the bundled compiler, ignored

So, I might need other compiler.

Thanks in advance for the reply.

   Posting an HP-UX question in a non-HP-UX forum can be expected to
return few/poor responses.  (I found it by accident.  A moderator could
probably move it.)

   That shows that the bundled C compiler may not work as expected.  It
says nothing about GCC.  What's the problem with GCC?  (Does ignoring
"Ae" make any real difference here?)

   Unlikely.  It's unusual to find open-source software which can't be
built using GCC.

No, the Integrity compiler only supports ANSI.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

How can I correctly use gcc to compile acusql? Previously, I export the path of gcc bin but still fail to run the "make" command. Is it that it failed to detect my gcc or actually acusql cannot be compiled using gcc?

   Still true.

   My psychic powers are still too weak to tell me what you did and what
happened when you did it, and I'm still too lazy to try to guess.  If
you want help, then you may need to provide some actual information.

   What's "acusql", where did you get what, exactly, and what, exactly,
did you do when you got it?

   Do you know that your GCC works properly?  Can you compile a simple
test program with it?

   Many free software packages prefer to use "gcc" over "cc", so if the
builders can find a working "gcc", then they'll use "gcc" without any
effort from the user.  In other cases, there's a "configure" script
which can be run with some environmental guidance.  For example, instead
of a plain "./configure" command, something like:

      CC=gcc ./configure

   I don't know if any of this applies in your case.

   I should be able to guess this based on what evidence, exactly?
