As you can see from the error messages, the problem is being caused by the
bundled HP C compiler that comes with HP-UX.  This compiler isn't as
complete as a usual C compiler so it won't work for Orbacus.  

If you have installed a complete HP C compiler on your system, you should 
make sure that the path to the 'cc' command is in your PATH environment
variable.  Alternatively, you can use the aCC flag '-Ae' to turn on ANSI C
c89 mode.  This should allow you to compile the C portions of Orbacus.
Run the 'runconfig' script selecting your options for the HP-UX build.
Before you execute the '. ./go' command, edit the config.env file and make
the following change:

  Change the line:

    CC='cc'; export CC

  to:

    CC='aCC -Ae'; export CC

Now run '. ./go' and compile Orbacus as usual.  Note that if you
reconfigure Orbacus, you will need to make this change again.

You could also change a line in 'runconfig' so that you won't have to keep
making this change any time you re-configure Orbacus.  In 'runconfig', locate
the block that selects the options for HP-UX (should be around line 835) and 
make the following change:

      $cpp_hp_1100 ) # HP aC++ for HPUX 11.00
          env_CC="aCC -Ae"
                  ^^^^^^^

The 'runconfig' script should now use the 'aCC -Ae' option as your C compiler
instead of 'cc'.

Darren
