Edit the CONFIG_SITE files and "make". (Be sure +that GNU make is in your path or call it explicitly as the standard make +on HP is _not_ GNU.) + +When compiling with aCC, you will see quite a few warning messages. Most +of these warnings - if not all - will be in system header files. There +is no decent way to suppress these warnings without suppressing the +warnings in the EPICS code. So close your eyes and stand it. +You may also note an unusual compile line that filters stuff through a +perl script. This is part of a mechanism that allows to selectively +block bogus warnings (using special comment lines) that are generated by +the HP compiler. Without this treatment you would see zillions of +warning messages. Feel free to try this by setting COMPILE_FILTER.cpp +empty on the compile line ... ;-) + + Shared Libraries ----------------
