    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.
  • 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,
