I've never used HP/UX so I don't know exactly what you need. Is there someone on this list using HP/UX?

We're using HP/UX here. But the most recent version that we got to work here is an alpha version date 19980901 together with egcs-1.1. The newer alpha versions fail to compile. I mailed this to the gpc-list November 3 1999, but regrettably the archive does not contain messages after Oktober 1999.

But anyway the gas problem (and solution) is described in the gcc documentation. The ad hoc solution that I have been using several years is the following.

First: you need gas. Before making gcc/gpc: put a symbolic link such as "ln -s /usr/local/bin/gas as" in the gcc-build directory. The make process will use this "as". After installing: e.g. in /opt/gcc, add the same symbolic link in the directory where the main compiler code resides, e.g. in /opt/egcs/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/egcs-2.91.57/ (in our case) The gcc/gpc version will use this "as".

This kludge has always worked for me.

But again current gpc will fail to compile:(.
