Dear all,
I still owe you all the answer to my question (see below) about not
being able to compile 'standard' gcc-sources on HP-UX. The answer below
explains it all...
Thanks to all who replied...
Marc

To: marc.thoelen@uhasselt.be
The most common problem with compiling on HP-UX is that
a full ANSI C compiler is not included. The C compiler
on HP-UX is a K&R kernel-builder (like other Unix vendors).
So you would need to either purchase the C compiler and
developer's package, or get the gcc compiler and use it
as your C compiler. Naturally, a lot of open source code
assumes (often without documenting it) a number of libraries
are also present.
