We are about to acquire a C++ compiler and were planning to
get the source from AT&T. However, before we make a BIG mistake I
want to find out how much trouble we will have getting the System
V version of the compiler (which AT&T claims will not work on a
bsd system) to run on our Ultrix 1.2 system.
We have limited resources to expend on porting the compiler, so
as long as the port is limited to changing a few libraries we are
willing to do it. Otherwise we would probably be better off going
to a third party selling ported compilers.
Hence, my questions:
1. Is anyone running C++ under Ultrix? If so, where did you get
your compiler? Are you satisfied with it?
2. Has anyone ported the AT&T source to an Ultrix (or other bsd)
system? How difficult was this to do?
Thanks for your assistance.
Please send your replies to ...utzoo!yetti!mike
I will not be around to read them.

In my experience Release 1.2 of the AT&T C++ Translator ports easily to both System V and BSD UNIX. We are running it under MASSCOMP RTU, IBM AIX, IBM ACIS 4.2, BSD 4.3, and Sun-3. In most cases the port is only a few hours work. Problems are: 1. The /usr/include/CC files are set up for System V -- they are incomplete/incorrect for BSD. This primarily effects user programs, not compiler installation. 2. You may experience some minor glitches with the installation MAKEFILEs and scripts, even under System V derivatives. 3. The supplied "patch" utility, which speeds up C++ program linking, works only on coff files. The slower "munch" utility can be used instead, and works with everything but AIX. We've written our own "patch" for the various systems we run C++ on. I'm not familiar with the various third party C++ ports, so I can't compare them to the AT&T distribution. I would expect an ULTRIX port to be easy. I don't think you would be making a "big" mistake by going with AT&T. -- Keith Gorlen phone: (301) 496-5363 Building 12A, Room 2017 uucp: seismo!elsie!nih-csl!keith National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD 20892

We are running C++ under Ultrix v2.0 (not 1.2). If you want help, let me know. I'm not sure about Ultrix v1.2 but v2.0 has a lot of System V stuff in it. We just installed C++ as though we were a System V site and compiled it with the -Y option on the cc command line. The last part tells the C compiler to compile as though Ultrix is System V. -- Art Zemon FileNet Corporation Costa Mesa, California ...!hplabs!felix!zemon

Hi. I'm looking for a C++ compiler (and documentation) for the IBM PC. Can anyone tell me where I may purchase such a beast? Please e-mail me. Thanks, Valerio valerio@cpsc.ucalgary.ca

I would like to get some information on the different types of C++ compilers. I need to know what types are out there, and answer these questions: 1. Can it be used on both a PC and UNIX? 2. Is it compatible with Microsoft Windows or other windowing packages? 3. Is it Ansi C compatible? 4. Is it a pre-compiler or a compiler? 5. Is the company trustworthy & dependable? 6. What C++ libraries are included? example: abstract data types? I would appreciate any information I can get on this subject, please e-mail me any responses, Thank you!

Dear Netters: Is there any C++ compiler on PC i386/486 compatible with AT&T C++ 2.1? Is there any C++ compiler similar to High C, ie., with the help of DOS extender protected mode programs can be developed? Thanks in advance. ============================================================================= Mac Su-Cheong nckus089@twnmoe10.bitnet msc@sun2.ee.ncku.edu.tw
