Problems compiling GD (perl module)

[Stefan Farrelly]

Im not sure exactly what the product is your trying to compile. I cant find it on the HP download site anywhere.

Anyway, your first error is that the makefile is trying to find the HP full ANSI C compiler (purchaseable which it cant find so it fails. Do you not have an HP server with it installed on ?

Second, you try the Gnu C compiler but the compile command isnt configured to use gcc. Is there a configure script with the files you are trying to compile ? normally there is, and once run it will detect no ANSI C compiler, detect gcc instead, and change the makefile to include the correct options for compiling. Then you can run make.

Failing that, is there an HP-UX.install file or something similar which will instruct you how to compile it on HP ? If this perl module is not designed to compile on HP (author wrote it for Sun or linux) then youre going to have problems compiling it until someone ports it to HP-UX.
