Re: [Firebird-devel] Building in HP-UX 11

[Paul B. <pa...@wa...>]

<<I´ve mangged to get a machine with HP-UX 11 to try to make a build
from this monday on. I got the document "Boot build on HP-UX and
Solaris" at IBPhoenix´s site. Does anybody have a hint to give me?
Any recommendation?>>

I haven't tried this, although I am aware of it. I am trying to get a build
up and running using Danny Mavromatis' test HP-UX build and the firebird
build scripts.
Although the information Martin has provided is very useful. Danny's build
however doesn't have a copy of gdef, which is needed for the build script,
so I will have to create this seperately.

A couple of comments though.

1. The "source" command is only available as a built in function for the C
shell, so you will need to define certain environment variables by using a
different mechanism to the firebird build script Configure_SetupEnv.sh
2. The firebird build script doesn't really know about the HP10 define, some
changes are needed to get it to run.
3. HP Make is "pants" you will need gmake
4. There are a number of changes that need to be made to the code, as the
HP-UX compiler is very ANSI and doesn't like certain syntax and the way the
code is currently. I intend to log all of these changes and commit the
changes back to CVS when I get a sucessful build.
