   I am trying to build Kerberos V for HP-UX.  I haven't even got to the hard
   part yet, but it seems to be unable to find files with names like 

	   KRB5_tables.c
	   KRB5_pre_defs.h
	   KRB5_defs.h
	   KRB5-types.h

   Nothing with names like these appears to be in the source tree.  Did I
   overlook something silly?

The makefile is lib/asn.1 is looking for those files; and it should also
contains rules to build those files.  Those files are built using the
ISODE asn.1 compiler, pepsy, from KRB5.py.  You must have ISODE built,
and you have to configure your site.def file so that the Makefiles know
how to run the pepsy compiler.

We are currently working to get rid of the ISODE dependency, by writing
hand-coded ASN.1 encoders and decoders; so hopefully the next release of
Kerberos V5 will not require the use of pepsy.

   P.S.  Do you know if anyone else is trying to port Kerberos V to HP-UX?

No, not off hand.  Once you're done, if you can send me patches and your
config/hpux.cf file that you've creating while trying to do your port,
I would greatly appreciate it!
