ANSI C and C++

[Andrew Luis Arruza]

I had previously installed aCC on my server (L Class).
I was requested by our developers to install the HP Ansi C on the server also.
When I looked at it they both install in the same directory and the C would have overwritten the C++ directories.
I installed Ansi C in a separate directory.
My question is: Do I really need the Ansi C if we have C++ installed?
Thanks for any/all help.

Depindes on your environment needs. Ansi C and C++ are different and third party software might require one or the other. Also, depindes on your developers needs. I guess, ansiC and aCC are similar.

Would depend on the apps being compiled. Some apps require that ANSI C be used explicitly.

The default destinations for the install should be as follows:

HP ANSI C installs in /opt/ansic/..

HP ANSI C++ installs in /opt/aCC/..
