I need an CANSI/C compiler -> HPUX

[Leandro Sales]

Hi... I need a CC ANSI/C compiler, what do you suggest?

I use HPUX 10.20, when I try to compile some source, I got errors and warnings because I don't have a ANSI/C installed.

Thanks.

Hi
You have to call HP.
B3899BA HP C/ANSI C Developer's bundle is not a free product.

Hi Leandro:

You need thet HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle. Part # B3899BA. It costs $$.

Your best bet is to purchase the Ansi C compiler from HP, or purchase GNU C compiler (gcc) will work for you. Our developers use HP's ansi-C on our main developement server while us admins use gcc for most of our compiling.

[Leandro Sales]

Ok... I have gcc 2.95.2, but when I'm trying to compile some source, using the make command, the make use cc to compile? I tried to change the Makefile to CC=gcc but didn't work. The make keep using cc...

These days I would purchase the C++ compiler which will also compile ANSI C (B3913DB) . If you also need to compile K&R C then you need to get the ANSI/C compiler B3901BA.

Your other option is to download the GNU C compiler (gcc) which is free.

There must be somewhere else in the Makefile that is causing it to use cc..make sure gcc is in you path, and look over the makefile again. There's no guarantee it will work with gcc, but before you spend the money for the full ansi compiler, it's worth a shot.

Maybe you could delete your current cc link (/usr/bin/cc is probably a link to the bundled compiler) and create link your gcc compiler. Then when done, switch the link back.

HP charges separately for the ansiC developers bundle, C++, and AnsiC++. The standard C++ compiler is not Ansi C compliant. You need aC++. What a racket!

You could try setting the CC environment variable before running the make, i.e. :

CC=cc make

Also, if you've installed the gcc from HP's porting archives, make sure you have also installed binutils and I would also recommend installing the gnu make utility. Hope this helps.
