Subject: Need OLD GCC 2.5.8 or 2.7.xx for Solaris 1 -- where?
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 1999 16:20:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <82jbqj$2sj$1@uni00nw.unity.ncsu.edu> (raw)
I have an aging SparcBook 2 running Solaris 1.0.1 that is unupgradable.
It has an old user contrib port of gcc-2.1 on its Solaris CD, but, when
that port is installed, it generates internal compiler errors when
compiling anything serious (like gcc 2.5.8 or 2.7.2.3). I really would
like to get a working gcc port up on it. All I need is 2.5.8, but
anything that works, will also do. My goal is to compile TeX, groff,
and a working gcc and a few gnu tools, so I can run Apache on the
beast as a portable web server.
1.) Anyone know of the whereabouts of any SparcBook 2 ports of any vintage
of gcc?
2.) Anyone know of the whereabouts of any pre-2.5.8 gcc sources so that
I might try recompiling an early port and then work that up to a
later port?
3). Anyone know, for sure, if the native SunOS compiler of a SparcBook 2
Solaris will properly compile a working gcc? If so, which version
of gcc (the machine is only a tiny laptop with a pair of 300mb hd's
so it can't attack easily the full 2.95.2 kind of thing).
Any suggestions, insights, horror stories, etc., are appreciated.
Thanks
Bob
