[hobbit] HPUX hobbit client install problem

[Galen Johnson]

The bundled HP/UX compiler is only good for recompiling the kernel.  I spent 6 months dealing with them before they told me this (this wasn't for Hobbit).  The real joy is their linker...which, IMHO, is broken since it will wlet you compile broken apps (missing symbols, etc) but you don't find out about it until you try to run the app.  I believe you can "fix" this by using the -k option to HP/UX's ld.

Please - the bundled HP/UX compiler gives nothing but trouble. At least, that's what I hear from the other HP/UX Hobbit users. Save yourself the trouble and either grab one of the pre-compiled Hobbit packages, or download the GNU gcc compiler and use that to build Hobbit and the libraries it needs.
