Builds of Hobbit client for ancient operating systems?

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

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.

I would suggest a VMWare server (if the OS supports it)
 
The Big Brother client works on older systems, if the hobbit binary
doesn't.
 
Best,

Out-of-the-box, the Big Brother client still requires compilation, certainly
for the bb program that delivers the reports.  On the other hand, there's a
perl program call bb.pl that can be used in its place.

And now that I think about it, a couple of months back I set up a copy of
hobbit in a Solaris 10 x86 VMWare environment, then copied the client
install directory over to a couple of Solaris 8 Sparc systems.  Obviously
the binaries wouldn't work, but the script which gathers cpu, disk & memory
stats seems to work OK.  I'm even kicking the script off via ssh, as I
really couldn't install anything useful on the target machines...

I'll send a copy off-list - if it doesn't work maybe we can fix it before
inflicting it on the world...

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.

The default compiler on HPUX is pretty much only good for recompiling the kernel (I ran into it in the past).  You might want to go to http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ (kinda like sunfreeware for hpux) to see if they still have any packages to save yourself a compile.

I doubt that there are any packages for 10.20 on http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/  . 
But it seems there are some on 
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/downloads.html

The ANSI-C compiler isn't free you have to buy it.

There are still some 10.20 archives available but they are all being phased out (gcc is already phased out, apparently).  Last time I had to use the site 11.20 was just out.  The link Lars provided is going into my hpux link list. :-)

My company has plenty of licenses for it.  The legality isn't the
problem.  The problem is finding the media. :(
