I possibly really could do that ;-)

What I need would be some hints on how to install autoconf/automake and
get it running.
Right now I have a D270 with HP-UX 10.20 available.
But a bigger problem would be to get a good java (1.2 or 1.3) on my system
since HP supports Java2 only for 11.x as far as I know.

An other question came up to me, how does it affect the build.xml which is
used by ant?
