Since you don't have any C++ compiler besides g++, we'll have to make
it work.
No, you don't have to get the source. The precompiled version from
HPUX is likely to have been compiled with their C compiler.
There are two issues:
1) perl remembers all of it's configuration settings in the Config.pm
module that it installs along with everything else. This is how
MakeMaker can automatically generate Makefiles that will work with
any given Perl installation.
2) mixing of C++ libraries. If you mix C++ libraries compiled with
different compilers, you are likely to get into serious trouble
because there is no standard interface. I realize now, that this is
not likely to be an issue for you, since the C interface is
standardized, you can mix and match C libraries all you want. Since
g++ is your only C++ compiler there is no issue.
Because of issue 1), every compile line that Perl generates for the
XML::Xerces C++ code will have HPUX C compiler specific flags thrown
in, hence the -aA and -z in your compile lines, which are not gcc
flags, which is why gcc complained.
What we need to do is make a hints/hpux.pl file that will set all the
necessary MakeMaker variables to work with g++ even though perl has
been configured using HPUX's cc.
Send the output of perl -V to the list, and I'll compare it mine, and
that should solve the problem.

Kent, were you able to compile the Xerces-C code from source? Or are
you using a binary for HPUX? If you are using a binary, download and
compile the source. If you cannot compile that, they you have a
compiler problem, if you can compile it from source than this is a
perl/xerces mismatch problem.

Nah, gcc-2.8 is from the bronze age, you would need 2.95 or
2.96. Looking at:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-3.0.1/
it appears that you need to install the GNU binutils package as well
because gcc won't work with the hpux assembler. Was this done?

I could only find a binary version of gcc 2.8.1.2 or something, so i tried
that, but it blew up:
gmake[1]: execvp: gcc: Invalid argument
i really don't feel like trying to compile gcc too, since it seems the
more things i try to compile the more things i have to compile :) what's
next?

Maybe I should clarify: I am a CO-OP (like an intern) at hp. :) Is there
no way the apache machine could be loaded with 11.00 or 11.11? (I guess

Hey Kent,
I found this using google:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2001-09/msg00139.html
It seems that gcc-3.0.1 has some HPUX problems. I cannot offer you
much help with this. I would find out what version of of the 2.9x
series works from HPUX, download it, compile it, and use it. Otherwise
I would get them to give you a license for the HP C++ compiler.
Sorry,
jas.

One of those things that happens with time...
You have two choices:
1) run 'make' again and after it's done bombing, cut and past the
'gcc -c ...' line and paste in -DHAS_BOOL after one of the other -D
flags
2) edit your Makefile and Handler/Makefile add -DHAS_BOOL to CCFLAGS
for example change:
CCFLAGS = -D_REENTRANT -D$(SWIG_VERSION) -DDEBIAN
to:
CCFLAGS = -D_REENTRANT -D$(SWIG_VERSION) -DDEBIAN -DHAS_BOOL

I am retrying with gcc 3.01. Just where do I put the -D line? I'm not

It ought to be simpler, since the CC flags will all be correct.

My advice is to stay away from gcc-3.0. It is brand-spanking-new(TM),
and it breaks binary compatibility with previous versions.

Your perl was compiled with gcc 2.9 something...
That mess that you got could be due to something simple like 'bool'
getting redefined, so you may want to add in -DHAS_BOOL to the compile
line and see if that changes anything.
But if not, then I'm afraid the only advice I have is to back of to an
earlier version of gcc... I'm using 2.95.4, which has been quite
stable.
I'm really sorry this is such a mess. The only other thing I have to
offer is it would help if I had an account on an HPUX machine
someplace. The apache foundation has one, but its an old HP10 machine,
and it's missing tons of software I need to compile Xerces. Seeing as
you work for HP, maybe they have a machine outside your firewall I
could get access to.
Cheers,
jas.

jas,
no problem, i assume you are very busy as well. i just installed a
version of perl 5.005_03 which i tried using instead of my 5.004_04
version. the perl -V on the 5.005 showed "cc='gcc'" while the perl -V on
the 5.004 showed "cc='/opt/ansic/bin/cc'", so perhaps the 5.005 version
should work? this is the output i get when i do a (5.005) perl
