Compile problems with 1.8.4 on HP

Jim Freeze

Hi

Ruby 1.8.4 doesn't want to build on my HP machine.
I get the following error:

cc -s -DRUBY_EXPORT -DYYMAXDEPTH=300 -I. -I. -c eval.c
(Bundled) cc: "eval.c", line 1657: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: "VALUE".
(Bundled) cc: "eval.c", line 1657: error 1705: Function prototypes are

gmake: *** [eval.o] Error 1

Any ideas appreciated.

HP's c89 would (probably) do if you feel like shelling out for it. HP's
bundled cc is severely crippled -- don't bother trying to compile
anything serious with it.

As Matz suggests, I've had best luck with gcc, though there are a number
of caveats. See ruby-talk #177036:

What's the best way to get gcc on an HP? At the HP porting archive
they have 4.0.2 binaries.

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/...

and make-3.8.0.
?

Yeah, the HP porting archive is good (but see my caveat regarding
readline).
