- Subject: building snapshot on hp-ux with hp tools
I'm building gdb+dejagnu-20040113.tar.bz2 on hpux 11.11 using
the hp-ux tools, and I'm running into two problems.
(1) expect doesn't build with hp-ux make.
When I use gnu make, it builds fine.
(2) dejagnu doesn't build because it doesn't find a C++ compiler
I can think of several ways around this:
(A) Make snapshots with no expect+dejagnu, such as gdb-20040113.tar.bz2.
Since our releases are like that, I think it's okay for our
snapshots to be like that.
(B) Tell people who use snapshots to remove the expect and dejagnu
subdirectories before building from source.
(C) Upgrade dejagnu in sourceware (and upstream if necessary) to make
the C++ compiler optional.
Comments?
