ansi c compiler

[jedd]

hi everybody
i have a A400 with 11.00 and trying to install BIND on it it's giving an error during the compile. my questions are:
1.how do i know what compiler i have that came with the preinstalled OS?
2.where can i get the ansi C compiler?i have looked all the application CD 5 of them. i've tried looking at them with swinstall, but i don't even know where to begin.very confusing layout.if not in the CD, can i get it someplace else?
3.any tips on compiling BIND?
thanks everybody.
have a good one.

If I am not mistaken, you get a standard C compiler with the OS, not ANSI/C.

The ANSI/C compiler is a product you have to purchase separately from HP. For more information:

Instead of HPs compilers you might try the Gnu C compiler. It's FREE!

Hi,

1. The default cc compiler is mostly used for building kernels. You cannot use it to build most of the GNU tools.

2. HP's Ansi C compiler costs money ($$$). IF your only need for this is to build gnu tools, then you are better off installing gcc (FREE).

But if you want to find out more about Ansi C.

To download gcc, use any of the porting centers to install binaries or download the source code from
http://www.gnu.org/directory/gcc.html

Hi,

You do have a 'c' compiler that comes
as part of the operating system,but
all in all it quite useless.
You will have either buy the 'ANSI/C'
compiler from HP or you can download
either the source or already compiled
GNU C compiler. The best part about this
particular one is that is free.

A BIND version comes as part of the
operating system already, although you
can obtain your own BSD version if you
wish.

Hi,
Since ansi C is widely used in all the programming, the standard C compiler which comes along with OS does compile, so you need to install HP aC compiler, which can be installed with codeword. So you need to buy licence for HP aC compiler, which will be available in 1of4 for 10.2 and 2of5 for 11.0 in application CD's.

I'm just wondering why no one mentions that GCC is also available from HP's devresouce site, i.e:

http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,547,00.html

I realize it might a bit older then the one in the porting center, but since its from HP, there *might* be a chance that they'll support it(?).

Does anybody know what BIND HPUX supports?
i have 8.2.3 on HPUX 11.00, i read somewhere that HPUX not supported on 8.1.2.
if i have 8.2.3 and i installed GCC compiler, is there anyway of compiling BIND in GCC, it's looking for ANSI C compiler, which i don't have. will it be too hard to reconfigure the script to look for gcc instead of ansi c?i know the answers are kinda long, but i really need help. i saw a 8.1.3 on software.hp.com. that'll be my last recourse.
thanks everybody

[Stefan Farrelly]

Tn answer your questions, according to HP the only supported versions are;

Up to 8.1.2 on 11.0
Up to 9.1.3 on 11.11

Both available from software.hp.com

If you have 8.2.3 installed and want to compile it using gcc then all you should need to do is edit the Makefile and change the line where is says CC = cc to CC = gcc (may need the full path for gcc).
Then run make.

[Santosh Nair_1]

gcc IS an ansi C compiler. As Stefan said, you should be able to replace cc with gcc in the CC= line of the make file to build BIND.

thanks for the response, last question would be do i need to change just the main makefile in the main bin directory or including all the makefile in all the directories which would be a lot!!!!
e.g. /src/bin/Makefile;//src/bin/host/Makefile
again thanks for all the help
