Hello,
I have not noticed anyone posting to this group about groff. Has
anyone got groff to work on an HP? I built it, and all of it compiled except
for groff.c, so I use groff.sh as the front end. I compiled it with g++ 1.37.1
and it went trough make, with only a few weird errors where some object files
apparently did not get into the libgroff.a archive, so I linked the problem
object by putting the .o files in the g++ command line.
After it was all built and installed, I tried to groff gnu's man pages
for groff with this:
groff -Tascii -man /usr/local/manman1/groff.1
and after about 10 or 20 seconds, it came back to the command prompt. No man
age was ever printed. I also tried using the ms macros with some files I
printed usinf ditroff, and the same thing happened; It waited, then did
nothing. I occasionally got core dumps. Sun folks don't seem to have this
problem. Is it just me, or is it HP? More to the point, what do I do now?
Help is apreciated.

I have groff 0.6 running on HP-UX 7.0 on HP9000/300's. I had no problem with the same man page (groff.1) and the same options (-Tascii -man). The section in the Makefile for compiling groff.o from groff.c is simply screwed up -- even under bash -- and needs to be modified. I am using g++ 1.37.1, but with libraries from 1.37.2 (which means optimisation is required). The only file I had to change was the Makefile. The installation of man pages to /tmp allows me to compress them before moving them to /usr/contrib/man/man1.Z and such. My diffs follow. Hope this helps. Yours, A. V.
