compile xinetd on HP-UX11.0

[BJ CG DATA]

when I compile xinetd-2.3.3 on HP-UX11.0(using ANSI C), I got following error message:
# make
for lib in sio str misc xlog pset pq timer ; do make -C libs/src/$lib CC=cc CFLAGS='-g -I../../include' insta
; done
Make: Unknown flag argument C. Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Difference is that the command you're executing was written for gcc make not HP's ANSI C make.

make -C = change to directory before reading the makefiles or doing anything else.

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent in HP's make, you'll either have to get the gcc compiler or rewrite the makefile to explicitly cd to the appropriate directories.

best of compiling

I installed gcc3.0.2 for HP11.0, changed cc to /usr/local/bin/gcc in makefile, still got following error message:

# make
for lib in sio str misc xlog pset pq timer ; do make -C libs/src/$lib CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc CFLAGS='-g -I../../
include' install; done
Make: Unknown flag argument C. Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Mark is right - but I'm not sure if GNU's version of make is shipped with the compiler. You can download a precompiled version of gmake from:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/make-3.79.1/

Once its installed, ensure the gnu make is called instead of HP's. You may need to put the gmake bin directory at the front of your PATH.

Thanks all.
I download the gmake, the problem have been solved:)
