HP-UX

Hi All,
I have a code which is used for conversion from binary to ASCII.
This code works absolutely fine on Linux and Solaris
And the same is giving many errors and warnings on HPUX. The machine on which i am compliing is "HP-UX kautilya B.11.11 U 9000/800 876920620 unlimited-user license"

Below I have pasted the errors i get on compiling

cc: panic 2017: Cannot recover from earlier errors, terminating.

Can anyone help me please to resolve this as the errors that have come up seems to be so unrealistic like unexpected symbol ; and {. I also checked the lines where the error is reflected. But they seem absolutely fine as per C syntax and coding standards.

Hoping for a quick response.Thanks in advance

HP-UX comes with a non ansi C compiler (for recompiling the kernel mostly...)
To compile software you would need more libraries ( quite sure) end perhaps an ANSI C:
What compiler are you using?

Code:

ant:/ $ which cc
/usr/bin/cc
ant:/ $ ls -al /usr/bin/cc
lrwxr-xr-t   1 root       sys             17 Jun 23  2003 /usr/bin/cc -> /opt/ansic/bin/cc

What options are you using to compile?

here is the sys detail abt cc.

$ uname -a
HP-UX kautilya B.11.11 U 9000/800 876920620 unlimited-user license

$ which cc
/usr/bin/cc

$ ls -al /usr/bin/cc
lr-xr-xr-t 1 ttsladm users 17 Sep 7 2005 /usr/bin/cc -> /opt/ansic/bin/cc

i compile the c code with -o and -D option like
cc -D FLAG -o OBJ_FILE converter.c

Try to include the -Ae option on the compile line.

e.g. cc -Ae -D FLAG -o OBJ_FILE converter.c

The -Ae option indicates Extended ANSI mode. Same as -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE +e.
This would define the names (macros and typedefs) provided by the HPUX
Operating System and, in addition, allow the following extensions: $ characters
in identifier names, sized enums, sized bit-fields, and 64-bit integral type
long long. ( Info From HP Knowledge base...)

The default C compiler on HPUX is next-to-useless. It is essentially a K&R compiler.
You have to pay extra to get an ANSI compiler.

VBE:
i tried to compile my code with -Ae option but errors are still comming, i am pasting a few.

$ cc -Ae -D CONVERTERFLAG -o OBJ_FILE converter.c

cc: "converter.c", line 1216: error 1588: "newstrValue" undefined.

cc: "converter.c", line 1239: error 1588: "newstrValue" undefined.
cc: "converter.c", line 1253: error 1588: "newstrValue" undefined.

i really can't understand where the problem is in the code.

JIM:
Please can you tell me which compiler i can get installed so that i can compile the code sucessfully.


thanks in advance.
