OT-OT-OT-OT All, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question way out of my comfort zone. We have a cpp file with three .h header files that I would like to compile in our Oracle servers (HPUX 11). The gcc compiler is installed on the HP servers, but the source code does not contain a make file, so we don’t know how to compile it in HPUX (not being programmers, but IT nerds). Does anyone have any pointers? Here’s some information on the program from the source company: The files are: lpssend.cpp wdsocket.h wdprotocol.h wdprotocolcmd.h What is LPSSend? This is a sample project designed to be used as a tool to help integrate with the new Loftware Print Server (used for barcode label printing across the enterprise). This program opens a socket connection to the LPS, sends a print job, receives status of the job from the LPS and then disconnects. LPSSend is a multiplatform application thus works on Windows as well as other operating systems. Operating Systems known to compile LPSSend without error: Linux/UNIX: Redhat 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 Corel 1.1 SCO UNIX Open Server 5.x Debian 2.1 r4 FreeBSD 4.0 NetBSD 1.4.1 MicroSoft: Windows2000 WindowsNT Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. -- Donn There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." -- Dave Barry
