Hello,

I'll try to fix the libtool and to involve some other interested guys
inside HP.
Can someone please sent me the latest version of the libtool you use.

Thanx

Well, I think we all agree here. We always tried to support as
many platforms as possible. It is just that the average KDE
developer (student, about 23 years old, no time for a well
earning job ;) has a PC with Linux or BSD. And to port, you
need hardware.  

I kept KDE running on HP-UX as long as I was a sysadmin at the
university. Now I only see HP's at fairs :-)

To make this thread constructive:

a) Can you help porting to HP-UX? I am sure that you will get
help from the KDE developers, although it might often not be
based on experience.

b) Can you make HP aware of KDE, so someone else might get
involved? From my university days I know that there are lot's
of people running KDE on HP-UX. (We alone had about 80 HP
machines running KDE).

c) Can you help making HP-UX machines available for interested
developers?


Bye,
Matthias.
