Apache Web Server Requires ANSI-C compiler

[Bob Fohl]

Are there freeware options vs. buying it from HP?
I can't compile Apache without it?

you could possibly use gcc compiler from www.gnu.org. its an open source compilier that comes standard with most linux distributions these days. i have been told that it will compile on HPUX. i am going to try myself one of these days.

You can use gcc compiler. You will find it here :

Thanks,
I installed the gss compiler. Having a problem compiling apache?? Not sure what to do now??

Once you get gcc installed , you need to make sure that the package is compiled using gcc and not the default cc compiler. One way is to edit the makefile of the package and replace cc = gcc instead of cc= cc line. Otherwise put gcc in you path first , e.g. export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH ( assuming gcc got installed in /usr/local/bin) and then try compiling it again.

hope this helps

You could also download and swinstall a ported version of Apache Web Server. You wouldn't need to compile anything, just gunzip it and swinstall.

you can get the gzipped depot file for it here http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/apache-1.3.17/
