Making a program compiled on Unix (HPUX) work on Linux
I am trying to make an application which works on unix to work on linux. I already tried copying the binary files and start it up but I am getting an error stating "Cannot execute binary file". Then I tried to recompile but i am getting an error whenever I tried to recompile. I am getting the following errors:

cc: +w1: No such file or directory
cc: +z: No such file or directory
cc: +DAportable: No such file or directory
cc: ": No such file or directory
<command line>:1:2: missing '(' after predicate
make: *** [xxxxxxxxxx.o] Error 1

I am using a make file for compiling.
I have a feeling that i need to rework on the makefile for it to work on linux.
I need some ideas on how to get this work.
Is there anyone who have an experience porting applications from unix to linux?

HPUX uses a very weird, old compiler which rejects a lot of modern syntax. It might even still be K&R.

We can't see your makefile from here. The contents of the code are probably important too.
