Copy of C++ Compiler to run in HP-UX 10.20

[Abraham Lapuz]

I've searched the net, trying to find a C++ compiler to run in HP-UX 10.20. I have the application cd from HP, but I can't install the application due to incompatibility.
Whenever I list/view the cd,it only shows the software/application compatible for the machine(HP 9000/869/K420). Unfortunately C++ compiler was not one of them.

Can you give me any site on which i can get a copy of a C++ compiler?

Thanks

GCC includes _a_ C++ compiler.

http://gcc.gnu.org/

Or are you looking for the HP compiler only?

The last aC++ compiler for 10.20 was A.01.27:

Is the bundle B3913DB on your application CDs?

Even though 10.20 is obsolete and unsupported for several years, any Application CD set you get will require a valid codeword to install the compiler as it was a priced product. You'll have to use gcc if you don't have the codeword. Note that each CD has a different codeword based on the date of the CD.

hi Dennis,

I have the application CD,
HP-UX Application Software
CD Part Number - B3920-13886

It has C++ compiler in the list:
B3912AA_APZ HP C++ Compiler S800
B3912BA_APZ HP aC++ Compiler S800
B3913CB HP C++ Compiler S800
B3913DB HP aC++ Compiler S800

but whenever I list the application, using sam, it was'nt listed.

So I'm trying to find another C++ compiler that can run in HP-UX 10.20

>but whenever I list the application, using sam, it wasn't listed.

As Bill mentioned, sam probably won't list the compiler unless you have purchased the compiler and have a valid code word for it.

[Abraham Lapuz]

We do have a codeword.
Is it possible that there are number of codewords for 1 CD?

[Dennis Handly]

>Is it possible that there are number of codewords for 1 CD?

Exactly. If you had the aC++ codeword, you would have installed the aC++ compiler years ago.

[Bill Hassell]

There is a separate codeword for each priced product and the codeword only works for one Application CD set (4 or 5 CDs). When you got the codeword, the sheet of paper listed the CD part numbers for which it was valid. The codeword will not work on any other CD set. swinstall can add the codeword(s) to your system at which point swinstall will show the compiler (if the codeword matches the CD). You can see that the compiler is on the CD set by reading the CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on every CD.

[Abraham Lapuz]

so it means that the codeword I have doesn't support c++ compiler, even the compiler is in the list?

[Bill Hassell]

Every priced product has a separate codeword and for a given product (like C++), the codeword is different on every issue of the CDROM set. Do you have the licensing paper with the codeword plus the CDROM part number information? Without that, the codeword is useless because you can't associate the codeword with a CDROM part number. You can try to request a codeword that matches the CDROM set you have by going to this website:

Otherwise, you'll have to build your own compiler. 10.20 has been obsolete for several years so you can't even buy the compiler from HP anymore.
