    cc is a C compiler; it might or might not conform to the C standard.

    c89 is the POSIX name for the C compiler that conforms to the C
    standard.

    c++ is a C++ compiler;  it might or might not conform the the C++
    standard.

According to the HP-UX B.10.20 example in the INSTALL file, you should
set the environment variable CXX to the value "/usr/bin/CC".

Unless you have good reason not to, you really should follow the
examples in the INSTALL file.
