1) You'll need to get the Xpm library. Try ftp.x.org or sunsite.unc.edu
(or a mirror) Once you get it compiled, you may wish to just install it
in $HOME/lib and then add -L$HOME/lib to the compiler define in Fvwm.tmpl.

You'll probably use the Xpm library many more times for other programs
(such as xscreensaver, asclock, etc.)

2) Check the compiler you're using. If it came bundled with HPUX, it's
not ansi and may give you are hard time. If you have a development
machine I'd suggest investigating and giving that compiler a try instead.

 OR
Take a deep breath - and get gcc. The gcc compiler will make your life
much easier for many projects. Unfortunately, getting gcc compiled will
take a lot of patience. I'm including an attachment from dejanews about
how to compile gcc on HPUX 10.20 . I took this route. BTW, anyone using
HP-UX 10.20, your sed is broken :) -- Check the attachment.

3) If your still getting errors, search dejanews. There's been a fairly
good flurry concerning HPUX 10.20 and compiling in general.

Subject: How to build gcc under HP-UX 10.20
From: gpetty_at_rain.atms.purdue.edu (Grant W. Petty)
Date: 1997/09/02
Message-Id: <5uh91e$k1q_at_mozo.cc.purdue.edu>
Newsgroups: gnu.gcc.help
<A HREF="http://xp5.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?recnum=8586922&server=db97p4&CONTEXT=874103825.621937221&hitnum=20&AH=1">[More Headers]</A>


Earlier I reported maddening problems building gcc under HP-UX 10.20
on a PA8000 processor. Based on the responses I received, especially
from Don Perkins, I can now summarize what works, at least for me:

1) First acquire and install the GNU versions of "make" and "sed".
The HP-UX 10.xx versions of both are apparently defective. There is a
binary version of sed available for HP-UX 10.x at
<A HREF="ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/gnu/sed-2.05.bin.hpux10">ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/gnu/sed-2.05.bin.hpux10</A>
GNU "make" can be successfully built from source using the bundled
HP-UX cc compiler.

Set your path so that the GNU versions of 'sed' and 'make', rather
than the system versions, are used when building gcc. Alternatively,
create links to these executables in your gcc build directory. I am
told that GNU "bison" might also be needed, but I can't confirm
whether this is always true or not.

2) In order to be able to use gdb (the GNU debugger) with your
compiled code, you should also install GNU "binutils", which includes
the GNU assembler. When you build gcc, you will want to create a link to
/usr/local/bin/as in whichever directory is being used for the
compile, include the stage1 and stage2 directories.

3) DON'T get gcc version 2.7.2.2 -- this version still chokes on the
header files due to undefined macros and symbols; get the brand new
version 2.7.2.3 instead, which apparently solves that problem.

4) when you execute "./configure" in the build directory, use the
option "--with-gnu-as"

5) From this point onward, the build should be done as described in
the INSTALL file.

 Grant

P.S. Appended is the original message I got from Don Perkins pointing
out most of the above requirements, plus a few other useful facts as well.

In addition to what Otmar Stahl has said...

* You may find it useful to get the latest GNU `make' and `gdb' as
 well. (They compile fine using HP's K&R compiler -- well make does
 anyway. For efficiency reasons, I would suggest re-compiling them
 once you have gcc up.) GNU make will be _required_ to compile the
 `binutils' package, due to yet another problem with HP-UX 10.x make.

* Definitely get `binutils'. Compiling with `gas' allows you to use
 the -g (debug) options of gcc. (Note that `ld' will not be compiled
 or replaced. This is OK.)

* If you compile binutils before you make your gcc compiler, be sure
 to run ./configure with the `--with-gnu-as' option when making gcc.
 (Do _NOT_ use the `--with-gnu-ld' option!)

* Somewhere in there you may need `bison' as well. Get it from your
 local GNU library. While you are at it, pick up `flex', since HP
 does not provide lex. While lex is not required for gcc, there will
 probably be a time when you will need it. Might as well do the
 compile now while you are `down'.

* libg++ (the c++ library) is configured for HP-UX. glibc 2.0 is
 _not_. Don't even bother downloading it unless you plan on doing
 the port.

* There is a _binary_ for GNU SED 2.05 for HPUX 10.x on the GNU
 mirrors. (<A HREF="ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/gnu/sed-2.05.bin.hpux10">ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/gnu/sed-2.05.bin.hpux10</A> should
 do the trick.)

* I would imagine the time.h patch (which I also need -- libg++ dies
 during make when it hits time.h) can be found at
 <A HREF="http://software.external.hp.com:80/">http://software.external.hp.com:80/</A> and then selecting "HP Patches".

In summary:
 * The following HP-UX 10.20 files are screwed up in the original
 distribution:
 sed, make, time.h.

 * If you are using gcc, you might as well have:
 binutils, gdb, bison, libg++, flex

 * On HP-UX you cannot use:
 GNU ld (Not a problem, don't worry about it.)

 * No one has yet ported an HP-UX distribution of:
 GNU glibc 2.x
