[help-cpp2html]Re: Compile problems on HP-UX 10.20

[Aldo D. Longhi]

Lorenzo,

    I tried again, and after I fixed the comments in "cmdline.h" and added
"-Aa" to the CFLAGS macro in ./src/Makefile, I only had one other
problem: the "alloca()" function (used in "getopt.c" and "optparser.cc").
I could not find any way to successfully link to any library that contained
this function.  Therefore I hacked the two files containing alloca() to use
malloc() instead and finally got it to link (I'm not sure my modifications
to these files are actually correct... we'll see).  The program now works,
and I am playing with it to see all the features, etc.
    So, I suppose you have two options for the "standard distribution":
1) Replace the alloca() calls with something else
2) Find a way to successfully link with alloca() on HP

Let me know if I can help with anything!

- Aldo
