Well, I'd be glad to take a shot at getting lyx to run on my
HP with aCC, so I'll get 1.1.4 and the fixes and see how it goes.
One thing about the HP (and SGI) C++ compiler is that it is
getting more and more ansi-compliant, so C++ programs should be
getting more portable as time goes on.
One additional thing in configure:
I've found a bug in aCC when it calls the preprocessor
as aCC -E - it drops the \n at the end of the file, so that the
test for xpm version in configure fails. A workaround is to
use CPP instead of CXXCPP in ac_cpp, since cc -E works right.
The fix doesn't seem to affect anything else, but I haven't
checked extensively.
