+by Martin Gansser on his homepage. With these instructions the build should

+You need GCC 3.4.0 or later, GNU make 3.80 or later and SDL 1.2.7 or later.
+HP cc will not produce a working program, prior GCC versions are buggy.
+For OpenGL functionality you need to install Mesa and the gl and gl2 video
+output drivers should work, speed may be very bad, depending on the CPU speed,
+though. A good replacement for the rather poor native HP-UX sound system is
+GNU esound.

+Crash at Start with the following error message:

+</para>
+
+<para>
+This means that the function <systemitem>.finite().</systemitem> is not
+available in the standard HP-UX math library.
+Instead there is <systemitem>.isfinite().</systemitem>.
+Solution: Use the latest Mesa depot file.

+MPlayer segfaults with a message like this:
+<screen>
+Pid 10166 received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
+Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space, or stack size exceeded maxssiz.
+Segmentation fault
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Solution:
+The HP-UX kernel has a default stack size of 8MB(?) per process.(11.0 and
+newer 10.20 patches let you increase <systemitem>maxssiz</systemitem> up to
+350MB for 32-bit programs). You need to extend <systemitem>maxssiz</systemitem>
+and recompile the kernel (and reboot). You can use SAM to do this. (While at
+it, check out the <systemitem>maxdsiz</systemitem> parameter for the maximum
+amount of data a program can use. It depends on your applications, if the
+default of 64MB is enough or not.)
