Before running SoftBench 6.90, you should be aware of the following problems and

workarounds:

• HP cfront-based C++ Compiler

HP cfront-based C++ compiler (HP C-Plus-Plus) is no longer bundled with SoftBench. If

you have the HP cfront-based C++ compiler, you can use it with SoftBench on HP-UX

10.20 or 11.0x.

SoftBench does not support HP cfront-based C++ compiler on HP-UX 11i. To restore the

SoftBench cfront conﬁguration ﬁles, do the following:

1. Logon as root.

2. Execute the following commands (you must have root permissions to execute each cp

command):

— cp -p /opt/softbench/contrib/cfront/packages/sys.Packages.Cfront \

/opt/softbench/config/softbuild/packages

— cp -p

/opt/softbench/contrib/cfront/transforms/sys.Transforms.Cfront \

/opt/softbench/config/softbuild/transforms

— cp -p /opt/softbench/contrib/cfront/bin/CC /opt/softbench/bin

— cp -p /opt/softbench/contrib/cfront/compiler_info/CC \

/opt/softbench/config/compiler_info

• SoftBench XEmacs and .emacs Files

All the .emacs ﬁles are not compatible with XEmacs. Therefore, SoftBench XEmacs does

not load the .emacs ﬁles automatically. If a .emacs ﬁle is detected, SoftBench XEmacs

displays the Load .emacs button. This button might be difﬁcult to locate; this depends on

how colors are deﬁned in your XEmacs environment.
