Re: Porting linux application in to HPUX

Most of those would involve

. unpack the source archive
. cd to the source folder
. configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-nls
(use configure --help for available options)
. make
. make check
(perl uses the (better) 'make test', and some utils support both)
. make install

You'll find that many utils do not build out of the box. In those cases, read the INSTALL, README, and other relevant documents.
Then read the error messages very carefully.
If fails happen using HP C-ANSI-C, try to switch to GNU gcc, or vise versa

If you find problems, do not hesitate to mail fixes for HP-UX back to the development teams. Most are very grateful

Hi,

a good starting point would be to visit the HP-UX porting center.

There you will find contact to others who are porting software to HP-UX.

Have a look here: http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

Hope this helps
