compile with GCC

Hi,
We currently only support aCC on HP-UX. However, chances are that Ice would compile just fine with GCC on HP-UX. You'll however need to change the build system configuration files to try this, you can use config/Make.rules.Linux or config/Make.rules.SunOS as examples.
Of course, if you have a commercial need for this platform/compiler combination, we can provide support for it. If this is the case, please contact us at info@zeroc.com!

Benoit,
I have a similar request for improved portability: Wouldn't it be better to use a more restrictive tag than the ubiquitous WIN32 to distinguish the VS/.NET port? (Like MSVC or something more "personalized" the MS-IDE sets.)
I've had no success trying to run Bloodshed/MinGW/g++3.4.2-4-Win32 on the sources (yes, it sets WIN32 as well), although g++ is well supported on Linux.

Yes, there are a few places where we should use _MSC_VER instead of _WIN32. We'll try to address this issue for Ice 2.2.
Cheers,
Bernard0
