Hello, could someone here describe what he did to build git on HP/UX? Some of my questions is:

        - What build chain did you use (gcc?)?
        - Did you use binary packages provided by whom?

what did you already tried? Do you have a build log? (with either gcc or acc)

I tried nothing. But my next steps are to download gcc packages from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ and try to compile git.

Gruesse,

On Parics I'm using gcc. On Itanium I'm using hp stock cc (so no need to build gcc-build-chain)

I'm git-pulling it very often - co I'm compiling it from the git sources.

The compiler shouldn't be a big issue, although git does expect something much better than K&R. Ie you need a *modern* compiler. 

(To be honest, the git sources do use some gcc extensions, but 
 (a) I think they are all successfully conditional on gcc already
 (b) most modern vendor compilers support a lot of them anyway

The Makefile is very GNU-make, though, so even if you don't have gcc, you should have GNU make, or you'd need to create your own makefile.

And you'll need perl, and a basic set of development libraries: zlib and openssl are the minimum set, I think (apart from the basic C library with networking extensions).

For full functionality, you'll need ssh, rsync, tcl/tk, curl, expat, SVN, CVS, cvsps, etc - obviously depending on what you're actually going to do.
