These are hints sent to me by a reader who successfully compiled the library under HP-UX 9.04. In addition to the things mentioned in the README file: 1) Start with the base of lib.svr4/. 2) Additional compiler options (-Ae -D_HPUX_SOURCE): cc -O -Ae -D_HPUX_SOURCE .c 3) All code that needs stropts.h or poll.h should be omitted.
