Urgent please.. C-GNU MAKE

Hi all,

would appreciate help pls

I have SUN OS 5.8 HERE..

I am actually trying to install GNU MAKE 3.79 version.
I don't know much about it..

but i downloaded .gz file.. from gnu.org website..

i gunzipped it..
i untarred it..

i did this

 CFLAGS="-pipe -O" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu

to install it..

it displays as below:

#  CFLAGS="-pipe -O" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... ./configure: make: not found
no
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... missing
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
#

in my path

# env | grep PATH
LIBPATH=/sybase/lib
MANPATH=
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
SHLIB_PATH=/sybase/lib
SYB_ADD2DLLPATH=/sybase/lib
SYB_ADD2PATH=/sybase

I don't think i have c complier here on this server.. unless c compiler comes with SUN OS 5.8. I don't know.. how to check?

we are not using c on this server.. we use JAVA
do i need c compiler for installing GNU MAKE???

if yes where to get it from? how to install it?

else how to install GNU MAKE?

regards

If I were you I would ask your sysop (administrator) to install what you need. You probably have a bunch of dev tools installed on the server already, or on another server, but since they are not in your path, you can't find them.

Good luck,

orangehead,
there is no sys admin here. So all installation I have to do as part of learnings.

Kent,
I will try to download the gcc as you suggested.

I read at one place,
if I put /usr/ccs/bin in path, it might work.
I have /usr/ccs/bin on my server. can it help anything?
what is ccs? its not c compiler right?

>I don't think i have c complier here on this server.. unless c compiler comes with SUN OS 5.8. I don't know.. how to check?
My guess would be that you have it ... its just not in your path... though it generally has its executable/soft link in /usr/bin...

try this

locate gcc
which gcc

what do these two commands return ... if they do not return anything, then you do not have gcc installed and will have to download and install it from gcc.gnu.org

>do i need c compiler for installing GNU MAKE???
as Kent said, yes you do

>how to install it?

In the PATH settings which I posted in the previous post, make sure that there is an export statement present for exporting the PATH variable
you will get the sources from the site ... there will be a README or INSTALL file in the untared sources... read that for installation instructions

Hope this will work..?? any ideas?

I tried putting usr/ccs/bin in path.. doesn't work.. get same error..






Avatar of shivani

Well, I gunzipped it..

it has one file in it..
gcc_small-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local

no installation instructions or anything..

any ideas what to do with it?

Since the compiler should be the compiler object code and all of the include libraries, this may be a self installing object module.

Try executing it from root.

Hi shivani,

http://www.sunfreeware.com/gcc.html  has this disclaimer:

To use the gcc package from sunfreeware.com you MUST install all of the SUNW developer packages that come on Sun's Solaris CDs.

well,

i don't have CD right now..

can i download gcc from somehwre else.. ?? or any other package from sunfreeware.com which might work..

anyway, i am trying gcc.gnu.com .. other website u gave me..

it will take long to FTP the stuff.. (sinze it is not zipped or anything)

so i have to be patient i think..

Avatar of shivani

ASKER

wow!
it will take 7 hours to download GCC from GNU.. because it is not in zipped format..

sucks.. but no choice i think right?

Wow.  7 hours?

I'm not aware of object code for Sun being available from gcc.gnu.org.  What are your downloading and where did you find it?

Oops, i was downloading whole crap..

can i just go there

ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/gcc/releases/gcc-3.2.2/

and download
gcc-3.2.2.tar.gz

right?

helo
any help here plz
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/gcc/releases/gcc-3.2.2/

sounds like sources for red hat linux ... look for solaris sources

do you have pkg-get installed ... if yes, then simply give

pkg-get install gcc

and it will handle the rest (download and install )

else, get the binaries from:::
ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/packages/by-architecture/
