Due to the recent coming out of GCC 2.3.2, here is revision 1.2 of the list.

For those who may be interested in getting the GNU products for the
HP9000 Series 700 systems HP-UX 8.07, here is a list of the results
I have obtained with the packages available at prep.ai.mit.edu.

All of the results are based on compilation with GCC 2.3.2 and
not on the use of the HP C compiler. A section is included
in the list for applications that did not compile with
GCC but did with HP C.

The last part of the listing contains the applications I can't get to
compile. If you got them to compile with GCC 2.3.2 and can send
me fixes, I'll include them in this list.

Note: To compile GCC 2.3.2 with debugging support, you must have the
      UTAH GAS 1.36 version from jaguar.cs.utah.edu: pa-gas.u3.tar.Z.

Note also that for most of the products that fail to compile below, the fault
lies with the compiled package and not with GCC 2.3.2. Some of these packages
are getting a bit out of date. ;-)

Furthermore, note that all the packages tested below are available from
my archive site at geod.emr.ca (132.156.33.33) in the /pub/gnu directory
and in the /pub/hp directory for HP specific items including jaguar
packages and HP specific patch kits.

Finally, hats off to the guys at UTAH for their porting efforts!

------------------------------

bison-1.19
c-torture-test     (a few warnings, but nothing serious)

fileutils-3.4
find-3.7
flex-2.3.7

GNU products that compile fine with notes:
-----------------------------------------

1) rcs-5.6

Paul Eggert ([e-mail]) adds:
"Note that you must set has_mmap to 0 manually in
rcs/src/conf.h to work around a kernel bug in HP-UX 8.07 that
causes the kernel to crash whenever you use RCS on NFSed files.
HP patch PHKL_0942 fixes this kernel bug."


2) ghostscript-2.5.2  (and fonts)

The executable doesn't work properly.


3) tar-1.11

Executable is buggy; dumps a lot of stuff to screen.



GNU products that don't support (yet?) HP9000/700:
-------------------------------------------------

dld-3.2.3
gas-1.38.1
gdb-4.7
glibc-1.05



GNU products that don't compile because another product doesn't:
---------------------------------------------------------------

autoconf-1.2    (m4-1.0)



GNU products not yet examined (don't have time right now):
---------------------------------------------------------

ae
f2c-3.2.90
finger-1.37
gnuplot-3.2
ms-0.06
mtools-2.0.7
nihcl-2.2
smalltalk-1.1.1
tile-forth-2.1
xboard-2.0



GNU products not examined (and I don't plan to):
-----------------------------------------------

button.3.00
dirent
elvis-1.6       (fine on PC; don't care on HP)
fax-3.2.1       (don't have a FAX modem)
fgrep-1.1       (too old to be interesting)
iostream-0.50
ispell-2.0.02   (use ispell-eeadfa-p0+9 instead)
malloc-0.1
oleo-0.03.2     (too old to be interesting)
readline-1.1    (GDB 4.6 readline lib compiles just fine)
uucp-1.03       (UUCP on HP is Honey-Danber)
vh-1.3



GNU products that don't compile with GCC 2.3.1 but do with HP C:
---------------------------------------------------------------

bash-1.12
bc-1.02
binutils-2.0
m4-1.0
screen-3.2b
time-1.4
tput-1.0


And now for the fun stuff.


GNU products that compile with easy fixes:
-----------------------------------------

1) cperf-2.1

gcc -DLO_CAL -DGATHER_STATISTICS  -O -fstrength-reduce -fomit-frame-pointer -fdelayed-branch -finline-functions  -o gperf options.o iterator.o main.o perfect.okeylist.o listnode.o xmalloc.o hashtable.o boolarray.o readline.o stderr.o version.o getopt.o
ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   srandom (code)
   random (code)
collect: /bin/ld returned 1 exit status

FIX:

Add

#define random rand
#define srandom srand

to options.h


2) cvs-1.3

gcc -O -g -DDIRENT -DSTDC_HEADERS -DPOSIX -I. -I../lib    -c subr.c -o subr.o
In file included from subr.c:11:
cvs.h:282: conflicting types for `gethostname'
/usr/include/sys/unistd.h:265: previous declaration of `gethostname'

Fix:

Comment out the line

int gethostname (char *name, int namelen);

in cvs.h


3) make-3.62

gcc -O -DUSG -DUSGr3 -DHPUX -DHAVE_DUP2  -g  -c load.c
In file included from /usr/include/fcntl.h:9, from load.c:181:
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:149: conflicting types for `open'
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:149: A parameter list with an ellipsis can't match
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:149: an empty parameter name list declaration.
make.h:230: previous declaration of `open'

Fix: (thanks to Arnaud Fevrier: [e-mail])

Change line 230 in make.h from

extern int pipe (), close (), read (), write (), open ();

to

#ifdef HPUX
extern int pipe (), close (), read (), write (), open (const char *, int, ...);#else
extern int pipe (), close (), read (), write (), open ();
#endif

and compile with

defines = -DHPUX -DUSG -DUSGr3 -DHAVE_DUP2 -DKERNEL_FILE_NAME=\"/hp-ux\"

You can use alloca.c from the gcc-2.3.1.u2 package.



GNU products that don't compile and associated errors:
-----------------------------------------------------


A - getopt problems:

2) bc-1.02

gcc -O -g -D_POSIX_SOURCE   -c bc.c -o bc.o

3) m4-1.0

Francois Pinard ([e-mail]) promised that this
would be fixed in the next release. :-)

gcc -O -g -Ilib -DUSG -DHPUX -c m4.c -o m4.o
In file included from m4.c:22:

3) gawk-2.14

Compiles with "configure sysv3" (it would be nice to have a "configure hp" in
the next release) and some touch ups to the config.h file but
bombs when you run "make test". A sample:

gawk: swaplns.awk:5: fatal error: internal error

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6

6) graphics-0.17

lots of errors. Samples:

ld: Unsatisfied symbols:

7) groff-1.06

Runing configure gives the following message

checking for grops to derive installation directory prefix
checking for gcc
checking if C compiler is also a C++ compiler
checking that C++ compiler can compile very simple C++ program
checking that C++ static constructors and destructors are called
gcc -O is not installed correctly: static constructors and destructors do not work
