Compilation on 4 UNIX flavours

[DGRFL]

Hello,
I have a large application that needs to be ported towards towards HP-UX/AIX/Compaq THRU/Sun Solaris.
I want to generate platform independent makefiles for the hundreds of programs that need to be built.
Does anybody know of a whitepaper discussing the different compiler and linker options ?
Or should I consider using tools like makemake ?

Where can I start ?

Thanks

checkout

http://www.sourceforge.org

and you might consider using the GNU "make" program, and a GNU solution to your problem.

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

Maybe I would look at some already made distributions. Some reverse engineering might you call it!

For example
Check out how the distribution of pine works!
You have to do a "make osf" for Tru64 Unix.

Hello, MoisDude

Where can I find info concerning distribution of PINE ?

I found some info about AUTOCONF. Is it a tool that can cope with this task ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

If you have access to the Tru64 Unix Distribution cd's, it should be in the cd labeled "Open Software Collection for Tru64 UNIX"

If not!

It was developed by them!

Can I suggest you have a look at the Configure utility? Configure is used in the Perl distribution to build binaries for many different platforms and should do the job.
