Re: ddd-3.3.9-test2 build feedback HPUX once again...

[Arnaud Desitter]

Hi Andrew,

See comments below.
You may want to build a formal ddd-3.3.9-test3. Hopefully,
most build failures are now nailed down.
Build problems are known for:
- Cygwin with gcc 3.3.1. This is a gcc bug. Workaround documented
in PROBLEMS.
- builds with gcc 3.3.x on HP-UX. Probably the same gcc bug.
  Cygwin workaround fixes it.
- MacOSX has problems due to case sensitive file systems. The situation
  is not worse than before. Documented in PROBLEMS.

Regards,

-lXmu is necessary for -lXaw (Athena). acinclude.m4 got broken and then
fixed. So it should be fine now.

I modified the hp-ux libXm handling in configure.ac and it should work
better now.
