- Depends... Do you have just the runtime system, or a full blown development
- system (or one of the in betweens)? HP/UX runtime system only comes with a
- subset of the commands that makes unix unix (in my opinion). For instance,
- it does not include lex, yacc, sccs, lint, or many of the online man pages for
- C function calls. If you have man pages, try looking for regexec or regcomp,
- or possibly regex and regcmp. We basically found out - much to our dismay -
- that to get everything that we felt needed to be in a "unix" system, that we
- had to purchase their ANSI C Developers bundle on top of the basic runtime OS.
- In our case, we are running 8.05 on a 720. From looking at the time stamps on
- the man page files, it looks like the at least the man pages were added as part
- of one of HP's "extras", and not as part of the runtime distribution.
- Their levels of software are something like this...
-
- HP/UX 8.xxx Runtime
- General Programming Tools (sccs, rcs, ...)
- Developers Toolkit (General pgm tools, Starbase/X/Motif prg tools)
- Ansi C Developers Bundle (ANSI C, lint, lex, yacc, etc...,
- plus anything you get in the above
- two subsets)
-
- Real pain in the *ss way to do things if you ask me. Getting this information
- out of them was also a pain.
-
- My opinions...
