Hello Julian, 

	here a little bug report on compiling wx1.66B 
	on hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05 (HP900 series)
	
	I use wxshlib166-9.tgz and i had some problems:

	
- Pb #1
=======

	In compile of wxbuild_motif:

	At link stage:

-lwxtree_motif -L../../../lib -lwxtree_motif -lwx_motif -lXpm -L/usr/lib/Motif1.2 -lXm -L/usr/lib/X11R5 -lXt -lX11 -lXmu -lXext  -lm

	The 'configure' script make reference to a lib '-lwxtree_motif'
	before set the correct lib path '-L../../../lib'.
	Hummm! HP Compiler complains about this! It doesn't like it
	at all!!

- Pb #2
=======

	libXmu.a not found on HP! :)
	Please remove it from the configure script!!!
	On HP, since Xmu doexn't exist, wxComboBox can't compile!!
	I made this to avoid the pb:
	$ echo >obj/obj_motif/combobox.o

	Ah Hummm! Yes, it's not very smart (Julian Smart! Ah Ah Ah :) )
	but it works!!
	

- Pb #3
=======
alloca & main unsatisfied symbols...

	wb_main.h: 28: added wxEntry( int, char **); 
	before IMPLEMENT_WXWIN_MAIN macro. If not, Compiler complain that
	it don't know wxEntry(...). It's Ok now!!

	wxString use 'alloca' that doesn't exist on my HP!

- Pb #4:
========

	HP don't know anything about this:
	wx_utils.cc: 200: <sys/systeminfo.h>
	and IO_HOSTNAME is not define...

	So, i fall down in BSD mode and not in SVR4 mode and it's ok
	now...

- Pb #5:
========

	Don't use the -Aa option with the C compiler!
	It makes strange error output troubles when 
	compiling contrib/xmgauge/gauge.o

GOOD TIP:
=========
	With the standard autoconf made by wxshlib-9, wx compile ok
	but you need to add an IMPLEMENT_WXWIN_MAIN in all your apps!
	And, at runtime, app complains that 'You must define an instance
	of wxApp!' Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! :(

	I solved the problem by compiling wx and app with these options:
	+a1 -Aa -z for CC compiler and -z option only for the cc
	compiler, and.....
	All works fine!!! You don't need to add IMPLEMENT_WXWIN_MAIN
	macro in your app!!!! and at run time, it's fine!!

	I wish that helps someone...

Best Regards,
