gcc installation help
807559Mar 1 2004 — edited Sep 22 2004Hi,
I am having trouble installing gcc on sparc solaris 5.8. At this stage , I am basically trying to locate the precompiled packages with which i can install gcc.
At the beginning, I downloaded gcc 3.3.2 from www.sunfreeware.com when i ran ./configure, I got the following error message
"""
configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 host
Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/objdir/gcc-2.95.2 using "mh-frag"
./configure: cc: not found
/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c ' failed
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler """
I searched the forums and found that i need a working compiler to build GCC. I have been searching and couldnt find these precompiled packages. Could you please tell me where can i find these precompiled
packages and what more packages are essential. Please also tell me how to go about after installing the packages. Could you please be a little detailed? I have been going over this since quite some time, and i
am going insane. I badly need all the help i can get.
thanks in advance
