(People run screaming into the night after reading the subject line... :-)

Has anyone got this to work?
Is it a workable idea to start with?

Reason for madness: So I can debug ATK programs.

Platform: hp9000s300, hpux7.0, gcc1.37.1, ATK 6+bit

Things start breaking when building class.
Firstly, the makefiles assume you will be using /lib/libc.a, etc.
Not the case with gcc & hpux (due to robotussin'd libs).
After hacking this about, I then get into difficulties with
it making its "transitive closure awk script" (Gawd!)
The awk script churned for 3 hours (I later found out), but produced
no output.

HoHum. So. Is it even feasible to try this? Or does
the dynamic loading/linking *need* to run "native"?

If I cannot use gcc to build, then how do I debug ATK programs?
I have been going under the assumption that the standard
debuggers for hpux do not understand the dynamic loading of Andrew.
([Shame] yes, I need a post-mortem debugger to test my programs...
  they don't *ALL* work perfectly first time :-)


Nick,
Enjoying the wonders of hpux....
