ddd-3.3.9-test2 build feedback HPUX once again...

[Tuomo Tikkanen]

I managed to compile ddd-3.3.9-test2 on HPUX11.00 using HP native C++ 
compiler aCC. On HPUX10.20 there still are problems, but they seem to be 
related more to g++ on HPUX than ddd itself. Even though I have not yet 
managed compile test2 on HPUX10.20 I'd like to share few comments just 
to be sure that these issues could be taken care before 3.3.9 (or 3.4.0 
what ever it will be :-).

HPUX 11.00
==========

- HP aCC compiler (ve have currently version 3.37, so for older versions 
I can not say anything) compiles the DDD OK as long as -AA option (ANSI 
C++) is used (for configuration phase one needs to set CXXFLAGS to have 
value -AA). Maybe this could be handled in configure-script itself when 
it notifies that compiler is aCC.
- In configure script there is hardcoding of static library and its path 
for XM_LIBS. The default value is "/usr/lib/Motif1.2_R6/libXm.a" which 
NOT ok for HPUX 11.* (there is no static version of Xm library in 
/usr/lib/Motif1.2_R6 on HPUX11.*). This value is OK for HPUX 10.20, but 
for HPUX 11.* the value have to be /usr/lib/Motif2.1/libXm.a. This is 
due the fact that at least in our environment the Motif 2.1 is selected 
during configuration. I suggest that in the case-switch there HPUX 10.20 
and 11.* are handled separatly.  Below a suggestion (diff between 
ddd-3.3.9-test2/configure.ac and my modifed configure.ac):

workaround.])>    XM_LIBS="/usr/lib/Motif2.1/libXm.a"
>    ;;
-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

- further  -lXmu is needed on HPUX (because of Motif2.1?). I guess that 
place where -lXmu existance is tested the --with-athena-* options are 
not used and thus configure test fails at that phase. This is due the 
fact that libXmu.a is in the same directory with libXaw.a 
(/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib) and because that is not in -L option when test 
is made XMU_LIBS test fails:

-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----
configure:26910: checking for XmuCvtStringToOrientation in -lXmu
configure:26940: aCC -o conftest -AA    conftest.cc -lXmu -lXt -lXext  
-lSM -lICE -lX11   >&5
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library: "Xmu"
configure:26946: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

Personally I corrected the problem by adding -lXmu to ddd/Makefile after 
configuration, but perhaps there is better way to do this in configure 
itself.

HPUX 10.20
==========

- Unfortunately HP aCC on HPUX 10.20 does not compile DDD even though 
-AA flag is used. This seems to be a bug in compiler or in its libs, 
because it can not find certain STL-methods it uses. Unfotunately 
version 1.27 is the very last version of aCC for HPUX 10.20 and it is 
already three year old version and because HP does not anymore support 
HPUX 10.20 officially there won't be any fix for this.
- DDD on HPUX10.20 requires -lXmu too, even though there is no Motif2.1 
for HPUX10.20. Once again I corrected this by manually adding -lXmu to 
ddd/Makefile. The reason for missing -lXmu seems to be the same that was 
told above being reason on HPUX11.00.
- because above I had to use g++ on this platform (have tried versions 
3.4.0 and 3.3.3). Unfortunately the compilation does not go through 
because in the final link phase of ddd binary following happens:

I would guess that this is problem with g++ on HPUX and not by anyway 
related to DDD itself. I have not yet had time to inspect the problem 
more carefully though.
