[Bug c/44057] New: building gcc doesn't find Sun ar

[jay dot krell at cornell dot edu]

bin/bash: ar: command not found
gmake[2]: *** [libiberty.a] Error 127
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jkrell/obj/gcc.x86.sol9/libiberty'
gmake[1]: *** [all-libiberty] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jkrell/obj/gcc.x86.sol9'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2


This is a common occurence for me.
It isn't specific to Solaris 2.9, it also occurs on 2.10.
I don't think it is x86 specific but I don't remember.

Might be nice to add /usr/ccs/bin to path or somesuch.
  Yeah yeah, I can do it myself.

This is with 4.5.0.
Doing a native build.

  $ /home/jkrell/src/gcc-4.5.0/configure -without-gnu-ld
-with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld -without-gnu-as -with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as -disable-nls
-verbose -disable-bootstrap -prefix=/home/jkrell/i386

Thanks,
 - Jay

If ar is not in your path, there is no GCC bug here really.

It'd be nice if:
  ../src/configure 
  gmake 
  gmake install 

worked with a minimum of customizations.
As I understand: ar is not in the default $PATH on Solaris, but it is always
installed to the same place: /usr/ccs/bin/ar. It seems worth looking for it in
its known place, if it isn't in $PATH, if build=host=target=*solaris*.


Thanks,

Why this is a standard unix issue and not really a GCC issue.  The same could
be said about any program you want to build that uses ar (which is almost all
programs that use static libraries).
