Guy Harris ced3198a2b Add a "README.hpux" file, giving notes about the Software Porting And
Archive Centre for HP-UX, who have (perhaps not the latest version of)
Ethereal in their archives, and the HP-UX C compiler options they used
when building their version.

Also note in the "README.hpux" file that there are, in the "INSTALL"
file for "libpcap", several comments about HP-UX that should be read if
you're going to use Ethereal with "libpcap" to capture packets.

The Software Porting And Archive Centre for HP-UX, at
http://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk/
(and with mirrors in various countries, listed on the Centre's home
page) has ported versions, in both source and binary form, for Ethereal,
as well as for the "libpcap", GLib, GTK+, "zlib", and CMU SNMP libraries
that it uses.
The changes they've made appear largely to be compile option changes; if
you've downloaded the source to the latest version of Ethereal (the
version on the Centre's site may not necessarily be the latest version),
it should be able to compile, perhaps with those changes.
They appear to have used HP-UX's "cc" compiler, with the options "-Ae
-O"; there's a comment "Add -Dhpux_9 if building under 9.X". It may
also build with GCC.
If you want to use Ethereal to capture packets, you will have to install
"libpcap"; the INSTALL file for "libpcap" has several comments about
HP-UX, which you should read if you're going to install and use
"libpcap" on HP-UX.
