First of all -- thanks for being patient with me. I hope I'm submitting this correctly. Also I haven't done UNIX Admin since the early 1990's. I'm actually a DBA. But, since I'm the one in the office with the UNIX experience, I'm the SA.
I haven't been able to compile GCC 6.3.0 which I need to compile OpenSSL 1.1.0 & Apache 2.4. I have made progress though. I have updated or installed all of the prerequisites that I could determine so the rest of the utilities/tools should be up-to-date. The only thing that evades me seems to be ELF. I tried to figure this one out and ended up banging my head against a wall!
I'm following the instructions laid out in gcc dot gnu dot org and a few other sites. The error I'm getting is for Undefined Symbols. I'm guessing that means I'm missing a library somewhere. Or have an incorrect version at a minimum. Below is the last part of the "make" dialog. You'll see the message about "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" and "g++: unrecognized option `-no-pie'" there too.
Not being one to sit idle while waiting for assistance, I've been trying to research this issue. My thoughts are that there are some libraries that the compile wants in the specific 32-bit or 64-bit format and the one that is being grabbed 1st is the wrong one. How can I tell exactly which library is breaking the make? To my untrained eye, it looks like one of the libraries in question (concat.o) is being created "on the fly" during the GCC compile process. If that's the case, how do I get it to compile in the correct version?
The current compiler version is 3.4.3. I also thought that perhaps I'm just trying to take too big of an upgrade leap & might need to do this in stages. If y'all could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Oh -- Server is Sun Solaris 10 U11.
Thanks in advance & have a marvelous Monday! <]8-)

Compiling GCC can be tricky... Why not look for a compiled package? I usually do that on environment Im not familiar, get the good GCC compiler then compile what I want... After there is an order for building up the libraries in order to respect the dependencies...
You havent mentioned your platform sparc 32 or 64, or X86?
I would love to get a package, but the days of SunFreeware are long gone. UNIXPackages charges for them now. And, since I'm a contractor for the AF, $$$ is short. The version that's on the server now is 3.4.3 and I need something that's higher than version 4.5.1 in order to compile some of the software we now require.
I will see tomorrow what is available or what I can find at work.. will talk with my 2 solaris sysadmins, on one of the 80 dev ldoms we have I should find something no?
ouch Im not sure if we still have some solaris 10 though ... I am on the process of stopping them or migrating and cant remember what is left.. I know sunday Im calling them to work for patching session but so far I saw only solaris 11 boxes, I will have to look if I have not archived anything as I was in charge of a few boxes in solaris 10 for Education...
go here: OpenCSW Solaris packages
There is a how get started page. Download the package installer script. Run it. As root.
Go back to the site. Select the gcc you want. Install the packages using the installation tool you already downloaded. Run everything as root. This will create an
Code:
/opt/csw/bin
directory among others. With gcc. While you are at it consider getting gawk, solaris awk is ancient and is there for retro purposes. dateutils also helps doing things like dgrep for date range values.
Leave the installed code base and libraries in the /opt tree....
Create a gcc alias
Code:
alias gcc=opt/csw/bin/gcc
You may also need to add the /opt/csw/lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Heyas
I'm currently trying to make a fresh build from scratch/source of FFMPEG.
This said, it brings quite a tail with it, so the use of a script was very obvious.
Anyway, i'm currently stuck at named package.
Lets ignore the tarball/download line, as the error is after.

Hi Everyone,
I can ask what is the option to compile a 64 bits program using gcc. I have looked everywhere but can't find it. Before I used to use cc and the -q64 flag was the option to generate the 64 bits binary. Can anyone tell me what is the flags when using gcc. Thanks...... (3 Replies)

Hello, I have never had a successful compile on the 2.6 kernel. On every arch in which I try to compile gcc I get either "i686-pc-cygwin-ar command not found or "i686-suse-linux-ar command not found.
