Has anyone successfully compiled Ruby on HP-UX?

Luk,

I had seen these builds already
but I didn't want to use them for the above mentioned reasons.

>does C89 allow multiple array elem assignment with curly braces at all?

Sure but they all must be constant expressions.

[Ralph Grothe]

Ah yes, you were already mentioning this.
Well, I would have considered compound array initialization by already previously declared variables quite common fare these days.
But then I may have been spoiled by non typed languages.

It is legal in real languages like C++ and and for auto variables in C99. ;-)
I'm not sure if your PA C compiler will take it if you add -AC99?

Hello,

To build Ruby 1.8.7 or 1.9.2 on HP-UX IA64 B.11.31 (not tested on other versions), see http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/HP-UX-Installing_Ruby_On_Itanium.html

Yours truly,

Congratulation, you answered a Thread from 2007 ;-)

And to add something useful, alternative would be using Internet Express for it.
