Hi All,

Can anyone help me in installing gcc-3.4.6 complier on Solaris 10.

1. I have downloaded the gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz from one of the free share
2. While downloading its is seen that it is renamed to gcc-3.4.6.tar.tar
3. On solaris machine I renamed it gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz from gcc-3.4.6.tar.tar
4. then I did gunzip gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz
5. then tar -xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar/*It looksit worked fine*/
6. A directory called gcc-3.4.6 is created
7. Under this directory I created new directory called objdir
8. and ran ../configure from objdir
I received the error called "You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler"
9. hence I added the enviorment variable
i.e first I added ; CC=cc;export cc did n't worked
CC=/usr/local/cc;export cc; did n't worked
CC=gcc;export cc ; no
CC=gcc-3.4.6; export cc; no
CC=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.6;export cc; did not worked.
10 Even I tried pkgadd -d gcc-3.4.6; I received an error.
11. I download the file on to /export/home/shared/gcc/ directory
12. Do I need to set any path?

Please help me in installing gcc-3.4.6?

Cheers
John

maybe you can use pkg-get:

I am trying to install gcc-3.4.6 and at the time for 'tar xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar' it give directory checksum error . For directory checksum error it's recommneded that I install gnu tar .However when I install gnu tar 1.17 , I get the following error .
===================
# cd tar-1.17
# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... build-aux/install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... build-aux/install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking how to create a ustar tar archive... plaintar
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATHSee `config.log' for more details.

===============
How can I proceed ahead , tar requires C compiler and GCC can not be used with existing tar. What's the fastest way out to get this to work.

We have C compiler in /usr/ucb and adding that to PATH too does not help .

read the last two answers right before your question... if you need an easy way to get all the compilers you need, just install SunStudio. you can download that from the sun website!
