Trying to install gcc
Author
Hi I'm using Solaris 8, and I am trying to install the gcc compiler.
I've unzipped the core and c++ gcc files into the gcc-4.0.2 directory, and I have tried calling ./configure, from inside the gcc directory.
But it says this:
Create a new directory (preferrably one that isn't a subdirectory of where you untarred the source files), change directories to that directory and run configure from there.
Here are the steps to compile gcc:
1. Unpack the sources to a folder, i.e. ~/gcc-4.0.2
2. Create a folder for building and cd to it, i.e. 'mkdir ~/build' and 'cd ~/build'
3. Call configure: '../gcc-4.0.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++'
4. Build the compiler: 'make'
5. Install the compiler: 'sudo make install'
By default the gcc will be installed to /usr/local. After installing the compiler, you can delete the 'build' directory. To find out the configuration of your current gcc, try 'gcc -v'. You may also want to read the installation manual to find out about other configuration options:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
In some cases it may be necessary to bootstrap the compiler. This will create a basic version of the gcc which is used to compile the gcc suite. You can bootstrap your gcc by using 'make bootstrap' in step 4 instead of just 'make'.

thanks,
The problem is I don't have the cc compiler installed in the first place to be able to compiler the gcc :(
I've searched over the internet, where people have mentioned the solaris cc compiler being a trial version which you download, so you can then use it to compile the gcc.
Unfortuently I can't find this cc trial compiler anywhere.

You will at least need a C-compiler to create your gcc bootstrap compiler.
You can download a pre-build compiler from http://www.sunfreeware.com/
Another solution would be cross-compilation, i.e. from linux to solaris. But that is even more complicate.

The unix doesn't recognize the 'sudo' or 'make' commands.
I'm not sure what to do.
I'm not sure what to do.
The stock development utilities are in /usr/ccs/bin. Make sure that is in your path. They are not the GNU versions, so you'll probably run into trouble building some software. You will want to replace those with the GNU versions at some point.
All of the GNU dev tools are at sunfreeware.com site in binary form.

Thanks, I added that to the path now.
I've also installed the gcc ver 2.95.2 from the sunfreeware site.
Now I'm trying to install the latest version gcc 4.0.2 which isn't provided at the sunfreeware site.
After calling "make" from the same directory ("/gcc") where I has previously called /sand/gcc-4.0.2/configure from, it gives me this error:

Any idea what this means?
Probably it would be a much better bet to install a precompiled gcc binary for solaris. I believe that sunfreeware.com has this sort of thing.
