Hi all,
I'm new to this list, and also rather nieve so please bear with me on
the following questions... but first to set the scene.
I bought the "free" Solaris 7 offer and installed it on a pentim
machine. It works a treat... and then I realised it did not have
gzip/gunzip... so I went and found the source for it, untared it and
typed ./configure... it finished very quickly. I thought to myself
that my computer is quick but it's not that quick, so I tried it
again and this time I looked at the output. Uhm strange, it is not
finding cc... so I went on the search for one on the install CD's but
to no avail, then I remembered that at my former workplace we had a HP
box that didn't come with a C compiler, so I guessed that neither did
Solaris, this I confirmed by reading some documentation. I then went
on the search for a binary of a C compiler for Solaris 7 and I found
pgcc, wow! So I downloaded it and decruched it to /usr/local as
described in the documentation (this is after reinstalling Solaris as
I didn't have a large enough /usr). Now I have managed to compile
gzip/gunzip and bash but that is it :-( I tried compiling mpeg_play
but all I got were X window errors during make, similarly with xview.
Now to my questions;
1. I guess that I don't have the paths set correctly. What would I
need to set and to where?
2. If you can't or do not want to answer Q1 (this is not
directed at any particular person) perhaps you could point me at a
website or something where I can find this out.
All replies will be greatly appreciated. And finally an example of my
idiocy, upon realising that there was no compiler I tried to install
the source for gcc and compile that!
See ya all,
Soyeb
