No cc/gcc installed on SunOS 5.10
Hi All: this work machine has no gcc installed, the only cc is located at: /usr/ucb/cc but this does not do a make, I get error:

"/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed".

Meaning cc is not fully installed, correct?
I do not want to get root/sysadmin involved on this.

Question is: Can I download a local cc/gcc copy and install it locally under my home? If so, can I point it to /usr/include? (I checked and we do have that installed) Also keep in mind, I am doing a Pro*c code, and the "proc" in oracle, nicely converts the PC to C already, which means I will need to include the <sqlca.h> and I checked and we have that at: /usr/include/pgsql/sqlca.h

So will a local copy be able to include all that and compile my code.


Right now I am installing Solaris 10 (I hope exact same as sunos 5.10 on my home machine) and will compile there and x-fer back to work the result and hoping the generated binary can run fine on it..but as you can imagine this is a looong task, former is a lot faster and easier.

Thanks
Steve

You can either download Sun Studio 12 Compilers from Oracle ..., which are now "free" or you can download Sun Freeware gcc compiler package from sunfreeware DOT com. I can't seem to post URLs yet. Just google for Sun Studio 12 and there will be a download site.

Double check gcc isn't installed on /usr/sfw/bin/gcc which is its default path on Solaris 10.

At work (sunos 5.10), no, I got this:
> ls -l /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc: No such file or directory

But at home, (solaris 10), which I just finished installing, Yes, it's there!

But by default it's not in the PATH, can I just add it to the path and expect it to work? I notice gmake is also there.... should I add that plus the /usr/include for all the headers and it will do?

Just add /usr/sfw/bin to your PATH and you are done.

Just ask your admin to install gcc. It takes me less than 5 minutes to do it when app departments ask for it. It's a very common request, and causes no down time. Your admin can quickly grab it off of sunfreeware.

Trust me, I beleive you, politics, I don't want visibility on this task.

I have new issue: tar xvf does not work on my own machine...I am root, when I tar it says "cannot create" on all the files...
