comprehensive list for HPUX compiler options and Linux equivalents if possible

[JamesJones]

I'm researching the meaning of HPUX compiler optins in makefiles - parameters like -DSLXMX_ENABLE and RMC=YES 

- the meaning / meanings

- what they "do"

- Linux equivilents?

Thank you in advance

   Why?  Do you have an HP-UX system, or are you looking at porting old
code to GNU/Linux, or what?  HP-UX version?  Which compiler/version?  A
Web search should find abundant documentation for a variety of C
compilers which have been used on HP-UX (including gcc).

> [...] -DSLXMX_ENABLE [...]

   Same as any other UNIX-like C compiler?  "-D<anything>" defines the C
macro "<anything>" (as 1, I'd guess).  Look for "SLXMX_ENABLE" in your
code?

> [...] RMC=YES [...]

   Where did you find that?  With no "-", I doubt that it's a C compiler
option.  If it was part of a a "make" command, then it might be
defining a "make" macro ("RMC" to "YES").

   Apparently, they define macros.  With my weak psychic powers, I have
no idea what those macros might do in your (invisible) code.

   I'd guess no difference.

   It might help some if you provided even a little context -- actual
commands where these things appear, why you're doing this "research",
and so on.  What is the actual problem which you are trying to solve?
The fact that you found a "-D" option puzzling suggests that you might
need to know more than you do before attempting this task (whatever it
is).
