compile software

[navin]

Hello All,
I have a software called text2pdf.c
I need to compile it to run on hpux11.23
how do i do that?
Thanks Much

[Dennis Handly]

Saying just 11.23 isn't helpful. Is it IPF or PA?
You can attempt to use the bundled C compiler or download gcc and try that.

There isn't already a precompiled version of text2pdf?

It is for PA . And if you know any link to compiled version of text2pdf..please could you post here
Thanks

are you talking about this program:
http://www.eprg.org/pdfcorner/text2pdf/text2pdf.c

I compiled it using gcc on linux and it works without problems.

gcc for HPUX can be found at:
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/dspp/menuitem.863c3e4cbcdc3f3515b49c108973a801/?ciid=2a08725cc2f02110725cc2f02110275d6e10RCRD

The programs seems to be simple (from compiler point of view)

You can try cc or aCC to compile if you have.
You may need some hacks in the program.

Is GCC is a lic product. I have tried to download from the above link but as soon as i accept the terms the page disappears.
Thanks

Hi:

Merijn also graciously provides a binary port of 'gcc':

Thanks so much. Now i have th gcc in the system
# swlist -l fileset|grep -i gcc
GNU_C_C++_64.GCC64_4_2_1
Where can i find the compiling instrctions .I have a source to compile using gcc
Thanks Much all

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

> Where can i find the compiling instrctions

At the simplest level you can compile thusly:

Given a source file named file.c :

# gcc -o file file.c

...produces object 'file' from a symbolic 'file.c'. If you omit the '-o file' switch and argument the compiler/linker output will be 'a.out.

More-than-you-want-to-know documentation can be found here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/

Regards!

to compile test2pdf.c:

go to the directory which contains this file.
then run "gcc -o txt2pdf text2pdf.c"

this will create a file name tex2pdf which you can copy to /usr/bin if you want all users on your system to use this.

the usage of binary will then be:

tex2pdf

Thanks

__fpreg is an IPF only data type. It shouldn't be on PA. You may have used the wrong define, -D__ia64.
