'make' problems (compliation problems?)

I'm trying to compile and install both most recent version of 'make' and the
most recent version of 'openssh' on my Sparc20.

I've run into the following problems... and I don't know what they mean. Can
someone please help me resolve these issues?

I'm using the 'make' version that was included with Solaris 8.



'make(new version)' errors:

Lightbulb gnu-make maybe?

i dunno if this will solve your specific problem, but i do remeber some software has problems compiling with the version of make shipped with Solaris 8. according to a some README's i think installing gnu-make fix's most of these problems. www.sunfreeware.com should have binary versions available.

good luck

thanks for the reply...

what you said is true... alot of these source packages recommend using GNU's make.

but the problem is still there after I installed the latest make build.

someone mentioned something about "as"...

I am totally new at this so please bear with me if I sound like an idiot... but are there any issues with make and the solaris version of "as"?

this is really bogging me down... 'cause I can't compile many sources...

This is not a problem with make. This is a problem with the intermediate assembler code generated by the version of gcc you are using. The assembler on Solaris (/usr/ccs/bin/as) does not understand the assembler directives generated by gcc in the intermediate code. Try loading the version of gcc that came shipped with Solaris 8. It is contained on the Software Companion CD shipped with the OS media.

hmmm... that makes sense...

I'll try it...

but... is there a version of AS that will work with the version of gcc I have?

The version of gcc shipped with Solaris 8 is 2.95.2. Since this is a
fairly recent version, I just use this and I haven't tried another assembler. However, if you download GNU binutils from

http://www.gnu.org/software/software...wToGetSoftware

and change all references to /usr/ccs/bin/as to the path to the GNU assembler, this should work. The problem is between the Solaris assembler and gcc. Using the GNU assembler with gcc should solve the problem. However, it will take more effort to get this working and you will only gain one bug fix level by doing it. Up to you.
