compiling any open source stuff

I just installed HP 11i (11.11)
Any time I go to compile anything like
samba, gcc, apache, gnome, etc i get the same error.
cc: "gettextP.h", line 50: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: "SWAP".

Any one know where i can get binaries for 11i?

Download gcc and binutils from the porting site! This will make your life much easier! if you have HP ansic, then you may be able to compile gcc, but I never tried.

Remember that the 11.0 and 11.i binaries are no different. I mean they both support 64bit, shared executables anyway. So binaries from 11 will run on 11i, and visa-versa.

11i was mostly packaging changes to make the OS a bit more secure and (internet ready). While there other differences too unless your running a firewall on one or on an open internet I would not worry too much.

Re: compiling any open source stuff

Brian,

I to have received the same errors. and will try procura software which is GCC 3.0.2, The latest at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/
is 3.0.4. I downloaded the depot software from hpux.cs.utah.edu but get the same error, a hint. The software works under a 32 bit processor but fails under a 64 bit machine. I am sure I will figure it out soon.

But I wanted to comment on "SAMBA". I recommend you install the 11i CIFS. instead. which is samba under a different name.
