re: commonc++ portability on hpux

[David Sugar]

I have not tried using a hpux target myself, but I suspect those that have 
tried to do so have done it with older releases as most of the original 
patches for hpux support are now over a year old or more.

I suspect if you pass "CC=aCC CXX=aCC ./configure" you may get more reasonable 
results in your configure script for testing of compiler features.  The 
configure script attempts to test compile something with a namespace use to 
see if namespace support exists and may be testing with a default c++ 
compiler that doesn't support namespaces.

If you have any patches to send, I would be happy to incorporate them.

Hi,

I recently tried to compile commoncpp2 on hpux-11.0 but I encoutered
some problems. A header file named <netinet/inet.h> is called from
config.h, but unfortunately this file does not exist on hpux11.0.
My first question is; on what version of hpux commoncpp2 was supposed to
compile for ?
If this problem was not already reported and being solved, I can try to
fix it.
My second question is; was it supposed to work with the HP proprietary
C++ compiler (aCC). I was using the lastest version of aCC.
Other strange thing: when configure runs, it says that aCC does not
support namespace. I 'm very surprised of that since aCC is supposed to
understand namespace (according to its documentation).

In the perspective that I would try to solve all those problems myself,
do you have any special recommendations (do you prefer patches, do you
want me to work using the cvs (subversion?) ).
Thank you.

Simon
