+This file describes some things to be aware of when building SIP (and PyQt)
+under HP-UX.
+
+I had success building SIP V4 and PyQt on HP-UX 11.0 with the
+HP aC++ compiler. 
+
+My configuration was:
+
+HP-UX B.11.00
+HP aC++ Compiler C.03.50 (B3911DB) 
+Qt-3.3.3
+Python-2.3.4
+sip-snapshot-20041113
+PyQt-commercial-snapshot-20041031
+
+Additionally, I installed the patches PHSS_29483 and PHSS_30967.
+PHSS_29483 brings the aC++ Compiler to level A.03.52.
+PHSS_30967 is a cumulative linker patch.
+
+Because HP-UX can load C++ shared libraries and C++ shared objects only, when
+the main program is a C++ program, I had to configure Python with the option
+--with-cxx=aCC
+
+I also had to change the definition of _POSIX_C_SOURCE in the configure script
+of Python from 200112L to 199506L because it conflicts with the definition
+from Qt.
+
+If you have any problems or questions on building SIP or PyQt on HP-UX, either
+send an email to [email protected] or use the PyKDE mailing list.
