[SOLVED] GCC for OpenSolaris

Mark_667 · 10-12-2011, 10:05 AM

I need to install gcc-dev on Open Solaris 2009-06 x86 but I've found I can't just do a package install as the repo at pkg.opensolaris.org isn't active anymore and I can't find any pre-built packages for it.
http://cdc.sunfreepacks.com/repos/i386/GCC452.tar.bz2 is a dead link. Does anyone know where I can find a copy?

The Opensolaris repositories ( and other sites ) : Discontinued.

The Shillix clone has the "gcc-3.4.3-csl-20050525.i386.tar.bz2" here
ftp://ftp.uni-ulm.de/mirrors/schillix/
> ftp://ftp.uni-ulm.de/mirrors/schilli...5.i386.tar.bz2

'gcc-3.4.3-csl-20050525.i386' = SUNWgcc .

The successor "Open Indiana" has so far only the same "gcc-3.4.3".

I've downloaded and untarred it, do I just need to put the resulting directory in /usr (and presumably set some environment variables)? The documentation included with it talks about compiling it?

Suggest : make softlinks from gcc , g++ to /usr/bin/ : gcc343 : g++343

I've tried the following:

Code:

#/usr/bin/alias gcc=’/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.3/bin/gcc’

but when I type 'gcc' I get a command not found? Can you please spell out exactly what I need to do?

cd usr/bin/
ln -s <path-to-gcc-3*>/gcc-3.4.3/bin/gcc gcc343
ln -s <path-to-gcc-3*>/gcc-3.4.3/bin/g++ g++343

Using : export CC=gcc343 CXX=g++343

alias does nothing when called with this /usr/bin path.

Code:

# alias gcc=...

is the way to use alias which is only meaningful as a shell builtin command.

Thanks for the help, I finally did it by downloading:

ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freewa...0-x86-local.gz
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freewa...0-x86-local.gz

and installing both with pkgadd -d after unzipping.
