Where can I get the freeware compilers?

Don't use the bundled C compiler which comes with HP-UX; it does not recognize function prototypes. It has two uses; it can reompile the kernel, and it can compile and install GCC or EGCS, both of which are freeware compilers which do handle ANSI C prototypes. > When I run esql -e -log dostats.log -o dostats dostats.ec I get no errors. > So the problem is not at the precompiler stage. > > Platform information: > HP-UX 10.20 > OnLine 7.23.UC1 > ESQL/C 7.22.UC1 Once you've installed GCC or EGCS, either place GCC as cc in a directory in $PATH ahead of the bundled C compiler, or set INFORMIXC=gcc.
