Re: imake,gmake on hp-ux

[Yuri Shtil]

I did some investigation and discovered that the cpp on hp does not define
the symbol hpux even though the man page claims it should.
Imake looks for this symbol when processing the config files. I solved the
problem by specifying -Dhpux when building and invoking imake on HP. It is
kind of odd, since imake is supposed to figure out the platform  instead of
being told.

However imake still does not process gmake ifdef/endif's when they are
inside actions. I have solved this by filtering imake output file.

Oh well, one has to learn all the time !!! -:)
