Linux

This is what I entered and what I go back in return...

# CC=/path/to/compiler/cc ./configure
Configuring for a i386-pc-solaris2.9 host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/src/gcc-3.2.1 using "mh-frag"
./configure: /path/to/compiler/cc: not found
*** The command '/path/to/compiler/cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
#

I was currently in the dir /usr/local/src/gcc-3.2.1 (where I put the file after I extracted it from tar)

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

OK..

Try this :
download the packages gcc and gmake to /tmp on the solaris box
from WWW.SUNFREEWARE.COM
for solaris 9 intel (if thats what you are running.)

unpack them with gzip -d <packagename.gz>
then
# pkgadd -d /tmp/name_of_gcc_package
# pkgadd -d /tmp/name_of_gmake_package

when they are installed (they install in /usr/local/bin/gcc and make

try
# /usr/local/bin/gcc
should return gcc: no input files

now you have the compiler installed.

now setup the path :
first we will use the sh shell

type this :
# sh
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/ccs/bin/
# export PATH
(set the CC just to be sure)
# CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
# export CC

then do
# cd /tmp
try
# gcc
(to see if path is working should retunr no inputfiles)

when this is done go to the samba dir
type
# ./configure
make
make install

give that a shoot

I got up to the part where I'm adding the package for install, I finished installing make and I was doing the pkgadd -d command with the gcc but it says:

cpio: Cannot write "reloc/info/gcc.info-6", errno 28, No space left on device

(and repeats for a number of lines)

pkgadd: ERROR: attempt to process datastream failed
- process </usr/bin/cpio -icdumD -C 512> failed, exit code 52
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to unpack datastream

Installation of <SMCgcc> failed <internal error>.
No changes were made to the system.
#

When that happened, i tried to install make, and it went through just fine. I got a 20gb hd that solaris is occupying. All the partitions should be enough to install the gcc.

This sounds simliar to my last post. From my novice point of view, you're trying to compile a compiler, but don't have a compiled compiler to do the compiling. I've heard that there is a compiled version out there at some MIT ftp site, but I have been checking for days now and the server has not been reachable. Let me know if you find a solution to this problem because I am seemingly in the same boat. You would think that GNU would host a compile version of the compiler, but they don't.

How much space do you have left on the /var filesystem. pkgadd spools pkgs there.. and gcc is big.. like 300MB .. so you need more than 300MB free on /var
/peter

I believe I have enough space, my HD is 20GB and I did the auto allocation that Sun recommended. I do not remember how much space is in /var, but possibly I could re-install the oe again. What command could I use to check the storage space available on that partition?

use df -k to check.

If you let solaris make the slices for you there is a chance that there is not enough space on /var

if you reinstall i would recommend you make var at least 1 gb.

or just make one big / and put everything in there..
