[comp.sys.hp] Gnu C++ for HP 9000/300

mahesh@shark.cs.fau.edu (Mahesh Neelakanta) (09/29/90)

  Does anyone out there have the gnu C++ compiler working for the hp
9000/300 series under hp-ux. We have tried many times to get it working
but to no avail. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Please
respond to this newsgroup or me personally. Thanks.

Yes, for all to know, after a long and VERY hard struggle I've managed
to make g++ 1.37.1 work under HP-UX 7.0. If anybody else wants to try:
be prepared for a fight...... I can't imagine that the author of g++
ever tried compiling it under HP-UX.

Now, for the interesting part: While I don't anylonger have the modified
sources (no space on the hd), the complete set of executables and support
files for several gnu-programs(gcc 1.37.1, g++ 1.37.1, bison 1.11 (I think),
and the binutils) is available from lynx.ps.uci.edu via anon ftp.
The name of the tar file is gcc.tar.Z (Don't let that deceive you.).

If you have problems (or simply want to thank me for my great job :-),
mail me.

I've got it up and running.  I configured it use HP assembler & loader so there is no debugging support in it.  It was a pain most likely because it was the first set of GNU stuff I got running.  

Respond to me (ian@dms.cdc.com) and we'll figure some way to get you the source and or binaries.

As I may have mentioned before (:-) the compiled binaries for several
of the major gnu programms under hpux 7.0 are available via anon ftp
from lynx.ps.uci.edu. All are configured to use only gnu software.
The file is called gcc.tar.Z , but really includes all of gcc 1.37.1,
g++ 1.37.1, libg++ 1.37.0, bison, a few more minor programs :-). They
are all setup to untar into an absolute path where they belong (and
they find each other), so you better have some root privileges or
/usr/local set to general write access. After un-tar-ing them you
just need to 'mkhplib' and you are ready to play.
