DDD 3.3.8 and HP-UX 11.0

[Tom Wurgler]

Hi all,

I've been attempting all the tips given in response to my note about
compiling problems for HP-UX 11.0.

I've tried every way from Sunday to get gcc with "gas" working, bottom line
is I can never get binutils to fully build (it won't build GNU ld), gcc
3.3.2 is a pain and though I have recompiled it a herd of times, I *think*
it still doesn't use GNU as (gas) as the assembler.  DDD compilation still
fails on

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./..     -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -Wall -W -trigraphs  
-c -o SourceView.o `test -f 'SourceView.C' || echo './'`SourceView.C
cc1plus: warning: -g is only supported when using GAS on this processor,

I *think* this is failing before trying to link, is that right?  So this still
seems to be a "as" problem, not a ld problem?

I am beginning to believe it isn't me, but rather this HP.  I cannot add any
system patches to what might be here already.  And if I try HP's optional
compiler, cc and aCC, configure fails trying to build the simple test program
(it hits "choke me")

I have ddd-3.3.7 binaries from thewrittenword.com, but there is something gone
here too.  For example, I can't set a breakpoint via the gui.  (I think its
supposed to put a stop sign at the beginning of the line of code you want to
stop on?)

Anyway, I guess I am just venting a bit.  I don't know what else to try.

Thanks
tom
