Yeah, don’t do this.  Instead, install HP’s ANSI C/C++ compiler (or whatever they’re calling it these days).  You can often (but not always) obtain it for free.  HP also makes pre-compiled binaries for GCC available (and if not — sometimes they disappear), you can find a GCC package for your version of HP-UX at http://hpux.connect.org.uk/  I think they only have packages for HP-UX 11.11 and newer, though.  Likewise, HP is unlikely to be providing binaries for anything older than that.

That is _exactly_ what you want, if you really want to use makedepend, which you probably don't.  Don’t try to build the GNU makedepend; it’ll work, but it has a lot of dependencies, as you’ve noticed.

If you use HP’s ANSI C compiler, or GCC, you won’t need makedepend.  If you’re using HP-UX prior to 11.11 (well, I’m not sure about prior to 9.0), the imake package (and makedepend) are part of the base install; just run swinstall and point it to the original HP-UX media, and you should be able to install it.  For HP-UX 11.23, IIRC, the imake package will work, but I might be mis-remembering (it’s been a long time).
