gcc & linker question (Solaris 10)
Hi,

I'm confused about the GCC & Linking process could somebody please briefly explain?

I have GCC 3.4.6 installed from SunFreeware. Reading the narrative alongside the package states "It was compiled to use the SUN assembler and loader usually in /usr/ccs/bin if the SUNW developer packages are installed."

SUNW developer packaes are installed and ld / as / ar are in the relevant /usr/ccs/bin directory.

I also have the GNUbinutils package installed which installs ld / as / ar in /usr/local/bin. this /usr/local/bin dir precedes / usr/ccs/bin in my $PATH.

When installing third party applications, i commonly see:
./configure \
--with-gnu-ld \
--with-gnu-as \
which i specify & the applications install and work okay, however:

checking config.log shows

Reading specs from /usr/local/lib etc etc etc
Configure with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin

whats going on?

Thanks

Nick

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
