Note, however, that I work for HP, and so I'm used to this. It wasn't painless, but it wasn't difficult, either. This was with HP's cc (the *unbundled* one) on HP-UX 10.20 and 9.07, BTW. With XEmacs 20.4 and HP-UX 10.20, I also used HP's profile-based optimization, which can really speed things up (using vm on many-megabyte VM mail files is quite usable with profile-based optimization). You may need compiler and/or OS patches, though. Here's how I configured XEmacs 20.4 under HP-UX 9.07 (lines split up for readability): ./configure --verbose --with-gcc=no --site-includes=/usr/include:/usr/include/X11R5:/usr/local/include --site-libraries=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/X11R5:/usr/local/lib --error-checking=none --cflags='+O3 +DA1.1' --prefix=/opt/hp --infopath=/usr/info:/usr/local/info:/opt/hp/info --with-xpm=yes --with-xface=yes --with-sound=native --rel-alloc=yes --memory-usage-stats --dynamic=yes --with-xmu=no I don't know if this will work "as is" under HP-UX 10.20, although I think it will. [ Note: I had to hand-edit the Makefiles to use profile-based optimization, and so the above won't work "as is" for profile-based optimization. ] And this is what I used for a REALLY OLD ``XEmacs 21.0 "Erzgeberg-pre1"'' under HP-UX 10.20 (and so this will no longer work for a recent XEmacs): ./configure --with-gcc=no --site-includes=/usr/local/include:/opt/audio/include --site-libraries=/usr/local/lib:/opt/audio/lib --gung-ho=yes --with-file-coding=yes --verbose --with-system-malloc=yes --cflags='-g +DA1.1' --prefix=/opt/hp --with-xpm=yes --with-xface=yes --memory-usage-stats --dynamic=yes --with-xmu=no --package-path='/usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs' I think I added the "--with-system-malloc=yes" to run XEmacs under purify, and so I think you can delete that part from configure. If I can find the time, I'll try to rebuild the latest 21.0 under HP-UX. Only if it's the bundled one good only for kernel building. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
