RE: Installing GCC on Solaris 10 Intel server

[Conrad T. Pino]

This topic is not appropriate for this list: address@hidden

 

This message is probably stale for Solaris 10 but identifies a better list:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1999-08n/msg01022.html

 

This page is probably current but is terse:

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html

Click on "i?86-*-solaris2.10" for some hints.

 

Sorry I can't help you anymore as I've never done this myself.

The above is what I found with a Google search for : solaris gcc

Subject: Installing GCC on Solaris 10 Intel server

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I have been having difficulty installing gcc compiler on this machine(Solaris 10 with x86 chip).  I tried installing gcc version 4.2.0 but the tar failed after I unzipped it.

 

These are the steps I took to try to install gcc.

 

1. FTP file to unix solaris 10 server
2. uncompress it

bunzip2 gcc-g++-4.2.0.tar.bz2

3. Untar’d it

tar  xvf  gcc-g++-4.2.0.tar

4. Error Received

…

x gcc-4.2.0/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/tr1/5_numerical_facilities/random/subtract_wi

th_carry_01/operators, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks                                  

tar: directory checksum error                                                   

 

So I tried previous version 4.1.2 which successfully uncompressed and untar’d with no errors but when it came to compiling:

 

 

After uncompress and tar

 

1. cd gcc-g++-4.1.2/libstdc++-v3
2. ran the configure script

./configure                                                          

configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..

 

I am not sure where to go from here.  Please help me.
