HP-UX 10.20 Install Problems

[Richard dot Gilham at nokia dot com]

Hi,

I hope I'm mailing this to the correct location, apologies if not.

I have been requested to install the GCC compiler onto one of our 10.20
HP-UX systems.
Unfortunately I seem to have run into some problems:

I have followed the instructions given at the
"http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/gcc-2.95.2" website.
(binutils 2.9.1, Bison 1.28, flex 2.5.4a and sed 3.0.2 have all been
installed locally)
I then downloaded the HP-UX Source Code (gzipped) using FTP, on looking at
the file it's description was:

	gcc-2.95.2-ss-11.00.tar.gz

The file was then decompressed and un-tar'd so that the configuring process
could start.
I am using the "http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html" notes for
configuring.

I set-up an "objdir", cd'd into it then ran the "srcdir/configure" command.
The following error message appeared:

/mnt/GCC/gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local
Configuring for a -hp-hpux10.20 host.
*** Cannot configure here in "/mnt/GCC/build" when "/mnt/GCC/gcc-2.95.2" is
currently configured.

Not a good start, I tried using a different "objdir" directory with the same
results.
Next I tried running "configure" within the gcc source code dir:

./configure
Configuring for a -hp-hpux10.20 host.
Invalid configuration `-hp-hpux10.20': machine `-hp' not recognized
Invalid configuration `-hp-hpux10.20': machine `-hp' not recognized
Unrecognized host system name -hp-hpux10.20.

The configure command doesn't appear to be able to resolve the O.S. version.
I tried using the switch, "--target=hpux10.20", resulting in exactly the
same error.
Next I edited the configure script and actually set the "host_alias"
variable to "hpux10.20"
This time the error message was:

./configure
Invalid configuration `hpux10.20': machine `hpux10.20' not recognized
Invalid configuration `hpux10.20': machine `hpux10.20' not recognized
Unrecognized host system name hpux10.20.

At least it now didn't recognise a valid O.S.?!

On looking at the configure command there are lots of references to HP-UX
V11.00.
I'm now wondering if this source code is compatible with HP-UX 10.20.

Can you please advise?

Alternativley I could just load the Dynamically Linked libraries, but I'd
prefer to work from the source code.

Many thanks
