Re: git in HP-UX PA-RISC

How I can build git on HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC)?

I have build openSSL and zlib libraries, plus GNU make utility, but I
haven't gcc compiler. I have native ANSI C compiler.

I search in the archives of that mail list, but I find nothing.

I do not think we had a thread on bootstrapping GCC on HP-UX on
this list ;-).

Your build log that shows compilation error messages, or if you
can identify what GCC extension we use that HP-UX C compiler
does not like then a short summary of the problem, would be
helpful (of course the latter is preferred).

One thing I know we deliberately use GCC extension is flex
array.  "make CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1" might help.  Maybe not.

An HP-UX user can fairly trivially install GCC... HP provides
the packages.
