From this it looks like the application is as old as or older than
(HP-UX) 10.10. If so, then why do you think you need to recompile it
to work with a more recent (what is "recent"?) version (of HP-UX)?
HP(-UX) has a very good track record for old->new (i.e. old software
on new releases of HP-UX) compatibility. For example I have run
(possibly pre) 3.0 software on 10.20 without any problems.
So specific questions: On/for which version of HP-UX was the
application compiled and on which version(s) of HP-UX would you like
to run it? What kind of application is it? Only executables or also
libraries (if so, archive or shared?)? Other? Etc..
