64bit Python builds on HP-UX ia64 and PA-RISC (Using GCC)

[James Matthews]

Hi,

I'm having some issues getting 64bit Python builds on HP-UX. I'm using the
GCC version available from the HP website. I've also tried using HP's
compiler but don't have much success either, even following the readme.
These are the results I get:

PA-RISC:

./configure CC=/opt/hp-gcc64-4.7.1/bin/gcc
make

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 2240, in <module>

KeyError: 'PA64_HPUX'

During make I also get lots of errors like this: ./pyconfig.h:1188:0:
warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined [enabled by default]


ia64:

./configure CC=/opt/hp-gcc-4.7.1/bin/gcc CFLAGS="-mlp64"

Seems to be a library mismatch?

Any help would be appreciated.
