gcc installation

gcc installation

[Pranav Sharma, Noida]

Hi All,

I am installing gcc on Sun sparc v480 machine. When I am giving the
./configure command, the following error messege is reported.

# ./configure

loading cache ./config.cache
checking LIBRARY_PATH variable... ok
checking GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable... ok
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking target system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

The output of my echo $PATH is :
# echo $PATH
/opt/CTEact/bin:/opt/SUNWexplo/bin:/opt/sun/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/
bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R/sbin:/usr/
ucb

And when I give the cc command on prompt, I get the following messege.
# cc

/usr/ucb/cc:  language optional software package not installed


Can anyone help me finding where I am going wrong and what should I correct.

Thanks & Regards
Pranav Sharma

CC == C Compiler. You are installing from src. So you need some
working C compiler in your machine to compile the Src files. Try after
installing some basic C Compiler.

Extensions in g++ to compile C-code

[Megha Murarka]

Hi All,

I have a library whose source code is written in C language.
The function definition syntax followed is of the form : -
int foo(a,b)
int a;
int b;
{
    return a+b;
}

If i need to compile this using g++ compiler, are there any extensions
available to compile the same code without changing the code . If any other
way, pls suggest.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Megha.

Hi Megha,

 U can use g++ -x c test.c  // where test.c is completely written in 'C'.
                                            // -x option of g++ is used to
specify the language of source

HTH,
Raghu.
