samba - Oct 2000 - Samba 2.0.7 does not configure on HP-UX 10.20

I am unable to configure SAMBA 2.0.7 from the source.  I am running HP-UX
10.20 on a HP K210 server.  The message in the log is:

cc: "configure", line 1439: error 1000: unexpected symbol:
"foo".
cc:  error 2017: Cannot recover from earlier errors, terminating.

I have not seen anyone in the archives have this error.  Does anyone know
what to do for it or what causes it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jennifer Arey

Hmmm. The relevant bit of the configure script is:-

echo $ac_n "checking for inline""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:1429: checking for inline" >&5
if eval "test \"`echo
'$''{'ac_cv_c_inline'+set}'`\" = set"; then
  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6
else
  ac_cv_c_inline=no
for ac_kw in inline __inline__ __inline; do
  cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF
#line 1436 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int main() {
} $ac_kw foo() {
; return 0; }
EOF
if { (eval echo configure:1443: \"$ac_compile\") 1>&5; (eval
$ac_compile) 2>&5; }; then
  rm -rf conftest*
  ac_cv_c_inline=$ac_kw; break


It looks to me as though configure is less than happy with your
compiler. Have you tried getting hold of gcc for HPUX, and using that?

HTH,
