AW: [Orca-users] which gcc, make on Solaris 10?

[Kraus, Niki]

Hello Adrian and Blair,

thank you for your reply.

I don't know why I can't use Sun's own gcc, if I run 
# ./configure ...
I get "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

By that time there was the compiler from Sun installed, also Sun's make and Perl - and no GNU-utils.
/usr/sfw/bin has been at the front of my PATH.


Ok, but on the other hand I finally got it by trimming it like this. 
I show some details, maybe someone needs it like I did.


{Orca installation on Solaris 10 Install.typ "Core SUNWCreq"}
----------------------------------------------------------------
1.
Leaving SUNWsprot (make etc.) and SUNWperl584core and SUNWperl584usr installed, but in PATH behind /usr/local/bin.
There a some good K9Toolkit goodies from Brendan Gregg where he uses /usr/bin/perl.


2.
# pkgrm SUNWgcc

3.
install GNU gcc from blastwave.org
(makes header fixups that are necessary for gcc to work on 10)
After unzipping, I moved it to /usr/local.
Linking /usr/local/gcc-3.4.3 to /usr/local/gcc.

4.
install GNU make from sunfreeware.com

5.
install GNU perl from sunfreeware.com

6.
edit PATH like
# export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/gcc/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/RICHPse/bin:/usr/local/bin/K9:$PATH

Now 
# ./configure
# make
# make install
works without troubles.

Nick

On Solaris 10, I used /usr/sfw/bin and /opt/sfw/bin at the front of my path and used gmake CC=gcc for some of the Sun demo code I was working on.

I think you have a mixture of solaris and gnu components causing your errors.

After changing any compiler and make, I would recommend deleting and 
uncompressing the orca tarball and then rerunning configure.  This 
should take care of some problems.

Well, I know that gcc and Gnu's make work on Linux.  The Make version 
shouldn't matter.  Just get your gcc compiler working and you should be 
fine.

Blair
