Gcc .bz2
Hello,

I need to install GCC but the only archive (GCC-4.9.2) for it I can find is a .bz2 format file. Looking at How to unpack and install .tar.bz2 library ? provided some help, but when I use tar in that way I get the following, presumably because it's an older version or different flavour of tar.

Code:
 ]/release_backups>tar -jxvf gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2
tar: j: unknown option
tar: usage  tar [-]{txruc}[eONvVwAfblhm{op}][0-7[lmh]] [tapefile] [blocksize] [[-C directory] file] ...

One way forward would be if I could find a .tar.Z version of GCC, or find out how to unpack the .b2z file I have.

Can some one help direct me?

Thanks

.bz2 files can be unpacked with bzip2. This is on a lot of different UNIXes. You can compile it yourself from:

I have downloaded and followed the README instructions and get an error because I don't have GCC, and yet im trying to install GCC so I can install the dependancies for rsync and rsync.

Code:
 /release_backups/bzip2-1.0.6>make
 If compilation produces errors, or a large number of warnings,
please read README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS -- you might be able to
adjust the flags in this Makefile to improve matters.
 Also in README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS are some hints that may help
if your build produces an executable which is unable to correctly
handle so-called 'large files' -- files of size 2GB or more.
         gcc -Wall -Winline -O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c blocksort.c
sh: gcc:  not found.
*** Error exit code 127
 Stop.

I visited the URL you've posted (linuxfromscratch.org) and I saw that direct download link http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.9.2/gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2

If you leave out the archive name and go to GNU Project Archives you will find a tar.gz archive too.

Hope this helps.

D'oh! I see your tar command has no z option Smilie. Check if you have gzip. If so, you could
Code:
gzip -d archive.tar.gz

and then
Code:
tar xvf archive.tar

Thanks Jim, fortunantly we have gunzip installed and that seems to have done the job with the other tar.gz files I think. I will try that now.

At the porting and Archive center you have a GCC package...
I suggest you get that one working first:
Go to:
HP-UX Porting and Archiving Centre | zlib-1.2.8
And download ( 11.11 PA-RISC2.0 binary grzip depot...) and install
then
HP-UX Porting and Archiving Centre | gettext-0.19.3
(same...)
then
HP-UX Porting and Archiving Centre | gcc-4.2.3
Like that you have at least a functional gcc to start with...
Then if you wish to compile bzip2 and install the latest gcc you can go ahead...

Thanks vbe,

I think you will follow your suggestion and avoid bz2 if I can.
