[parisc-linux] HPUX 9.05 notes

[Brian S. Julin]

For a lark I tried the "recipe" instructions on a 715/64 
running HPUX 9.05.  A coupla notes:

1) You need to install flex.  Perhaps also some autoconf stuff
and a native HPUX gcc in addition to the cross compiler,
too; those I already had so I wouldn't have noticed if they
were needed.

2) You need to export CONFIG_SHELL=/linux/bin/bash before
running gcc's ./configure or the HPUX /bin/sh dies with
an exhausted "2k buffer" :-P.

3) You need to edit linux/scripts/mkdep.c and take out
the call to getpagesize() (a failed compile will tell you
where.)  Substitute a constant (4096, it appears from 
asm-parisc/.)

How far does this get you?  About up to here:

make
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/linux/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -mdisable-fpregs -fwritable-strings
 -pipe -fno-strength-reduce  -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

/linux/linux/include/asm/unistd.h:879: warning: previous external decl of

make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1


I don't know how much of this might be recent CVS breakage and how
much is due to the crusty OS, but I hope this is of help to 
someone.
