Xalan-c 1.5 on HP-UX 11i Itanium

["Wayne M. Henshaw" <wh...@progress.com>]

We are planning to use Xalan-C++ for a project, but need to use the 1.5
version for now. One platform that we'd like to use it on is HP-UX 11 on
Itanium. I realize that versions of Xalan prior to 1.8 don't have build
support for this platform. Assuming that we create the Makefile
ourselves, can we expect to have a decent chance of then building and
using Xalan 1.5 on HP Itanium? Or is there a known problem trying to do
this (in other words: was the work of adding build support in 1.8 pretty
much focused on defining a Makefile, or did it involve code changes)?
 
Thanks very much,

Hi Wayne,

It was 99% Makefile and compiler options.  There may be issues with the 
code, but you would face those with a newer version of aCC for HP-UX 11 on 
PA_RISC anyway.
