Builds of Hobbit client for ancient operatingsystems?

I did get gmake installed on the hpux 10.20 box - it compiled OK, but as
I see in the docs, other people have noticed that the Hobbit client does
not like the default C compiler on hp/ux.  I'll have to see if I can get
a copy of the ANSI C compiler.

I also got the client compiled for Solaris 6.  Thanks to everyone for
the tips.

Does sunfreeware.com still have gcc for solaris 6? A quick check confirms it. I'm sure someone else on the list could help with HPUX.

Hi All,

I'm new to the list.

I've been asked to see if there's any way to get the hobbit client on
some of our... more elderly systems, such as HP-UX 10.10, 10.20, 11.00,
and Solaris 6.  None of these systems have gcc on them as far as I know,
and installing gcc on systems that old is a major challenge just due to
available disk space if nothing else (such as dependencies), so
compiling copies myself would be a big undertaking.

Does anyone maybe know of some dusty, forgotten corner of the net where
Hobbit clients for those operating systems might be available?  Or have
one of those systems runing with gcc and be willing to compile a couple
clients for me?

Thanks,

Doug
