Re: Installing Forms 4.5 on HPUX 10 - C compiler

In my experience, the C compiler for HP-UX gave warnings ('+O2 option not available'), but did create the executables, which seem to run ok. I've also been able to compile on one box and copy the executables to another, so if you have access to an HP box with an ANSI C compiler, you can try that.
