HELP!  I am trying to build GNU C on an HP 9000/735 running HP-UX 9.01.  I want
the binaries, libraries, includes, and man pages in /apps/gnu/{bin,lib,include,man}.
The following are the commands that I typed in:

./configure --prefix=/apps/gnu --local-prefix=/apps/gnu hp735-hpux

[Output deleted but everything OK]

make LANGUAGES=c

[Output and warnings about g option deleted and then I get this:]

cc: "/usr/local/lib/bison.simple", line 42: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature.
*** Error code 1

So then I figure that the stock HP compiler doesn't like the #line directives in
the file, c-parse.c.  I comment ALL of the lines that start with #line in c-parse.c
and run make LANGUAGES=c again and I get:

cc: "c-parse.c", line 1128: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature.
*** Error code 1

Now I am stumped.  Can someone who has built GNU C version 2.5.X shed some light
on what I am doing wrong or what I can do to get GNU C to compile?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks to:

and special thanks to:

For helping me get gcc compiled.  Luckily I remembered how to perform
permutations!  After trying every combination that was sent to me I
finally merged some of the suggestions and came up with the following:

        # unpack gcc-2.5.2.tar.gz distribution from jaguar.cs.utah.edu.
        vi c-parse.c  and comment out line 1128.
        # use stock HP cc to compile gcc.
        ./configure
        make LANGUAGES=c
        make stage1
        make LANGUAGES=c CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS=-02 LDFLAGS=-s
        make stage2
        make LANGUAGES=c CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS=-02 LDFLAGS=-s
        make compare
        make stage3
        make CC="stage3/xgcc -Bstage3/" CFLAGS=-02 LDFLAGS=-s
        make CC="stage3/xgcc -Bstage3/" CFLAGS=-02 LDFLAGS=-s install
        make CC="stage3/xgcc -Bstage3/" CFLAGS=-0  LDFLAGS=-s install-libobjc

Everythings seems to be working great.  I have compiled emacs and perl without
any problems.

Thanks again,

You need HP's ANSI C compiler - try getting patch PHSS_3015 (which, ahem,
"converts" your bundled K&R minimal compiler into the fully-blown ANSI compiler,
but don't tell HP I told you this :-) ).

Because the standard HP C compiler doesn't support -g.

An unsubtle hint that you need an ANSI C compiler...

Probably /lib/cpp that's objecting (since that's what the K&R C compiler runs).

Unsubtle hint #2 - you need an ANSI C compiler :-)

Patch PHSS_3015 can be obtained from your HP Response Centre or your nearest
HP SupportLine.
