can't compile with cc

[alfonsogt]

Dear friends: I got a HP-270 server with HP-UX installed on it. I'm new to this of HP-UX (not in linux!); it seems to have a c-compiler named 'cc'. The problem is that if I try to compile a simply 'Hello World' program, it says:

(Bundled) cc: "hello.c", line 3: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI .

do anyone of you know to solve this??

A stock HP-UX installation has a crippled C compiler bundled with it. I can't remember the full details of what it can't do, but I think one of them is ANSI compiles.

If this is your own server, or your company doesn't want to get the corporate cheque book out, your probably best off getting hold of gcc and installing that.

To compile C programs under ANSI mode, use the option -Aa.

e.g. cc -Aa -ohello hello.c

no blue -- the HP bundled compiler is not ANSI compatible -- wish it was

Mike,

Perhaps we are using different products. Mine is "HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle", Product# B3901BA.

 

[MikeLacey]

Yes blue, think we probably are. On my system the command:

cc -Aa

prints

(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The -A option is available only with the C/ANSI C product; ignored.

Yes Mike, same problem... where can I get gcc for HP/UX?

 

[MikeLacey]

http://www.gnu.org

is the place to start I think

If you get the source for gcc, I found a link to some hints and tips about compiling gcc on HP-UX 10.20 and 11 -

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/1999-11/msg00076.html

There's also a link from that page to pre-compiled packages that are available for download -
