[Open-scap] OSCAP Platform Support

[Mohanraj, Bharath]

Can someone help me in getting started here? Based on Simon's email, we have a source code somewhere that can be compiled to get hp-ux binaries. It will really help, if I can get guidance here to get started.

Regards,
Bharath M

Thanks for the reply, Simon

I have never tried compiling the binaries (and I'm infact new to OSCAP, and don’t have an idea of the source code details). I'm just relying on the binaries downloaded via yum. Can you please help me here, by providing additional details?

Regards,
Bharath M

Hello,

OpenSCAP works on Solaris for ages. That leads me to think that HP-UX shouldn't be that much of problem. Have you tried to compile it and run the test suite?

I would guess you might run into a failure or two, but I suppose the problems will be very isolated and solvable by #ifdef-s. If you happen to find any such problems don't hesitate to send patches upstream!

All the best!
