C++ in HP-UX

[PaqoMex]

Hi there guys! I've read some of the posts in your forum and then decided to join you!. I've been programming for over 5 years, mostly in C and Java. But right now a Professor, who I'm working with, asked me to install and start working with C, C++ and Fortran in HP-UX, I don't have much experience using HP-UX and I've been searching for C++ compilers on the web, so far I have found Xerces and Xalan, which I don't know if they are exactly what I'm looking for.

Can any of you guys tell me if there's any other better compiler I can use and if so also let me know if there's any tutorial available?. I'm really open to read a lot for as long as it is useful information. Unfortunately I've found really really lame tutorials, maybe I'm not searching the right way!.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I did a Google search of "hp c++ compiler" and found a few hits that might be interesting to you.

I’ve been searching for C++ compilers on the web, so far I have found Xerces and Xalan, which I don’t know if they are exactly what I’m looking for.

I would love to know how you reached the conclusion that Xerces and Xalan are C++ compilers. I blinked a few times when I saw that statement. Xerces is a well known XML parser, and Xalan is a well known XSLT parser. They are libraries available in both C++ and Java. So I’m definitely surprised that you don’t know what Xerces and Xalan are-- actually that’s forgiveable-- but worse, can’t determine if something is a compiler or not.

Someone with experience on HP-UX systems (not me) should be able to give you a rank of choices to work with. Honestly, I think a combination of Googling, asking your professor, and perhaps asking HP would do the job just fine.

For C++: I would imagine gcc/g++ has no problem on HP-UX. I believe HP has their own “aC++” compiler as well. I’m confused though, as to why you have an HP-UX machine without C and C++ compilers on it. I would imagine when it was setup, that the compilers were setup. At least C and the basic build system would have been setup. Talk to your professor about it.

Can any of you guys tell me if there’s any other better compiler I can use and if so also let me know if there’s any tutorial available?.

How do you define “better compiler”? If you aren’t familiar with C++ at all, the two books you should be getting are C++ Primer by Lippman and Accelerated C++ by Koenig. Those two books can give you a solid foundation of C++ before you venture into the advanced details and usage.
