How to install GCC?

How to install GCC?

[Liu Feng]

Dear Sir/Ms:

Could you please help me on this problem? I am currently using Solaris
2.7 on SUN Sparc 5 and I do not have any C compilers pre-installed. I
want to install the GCC on my system but failed. The details is as
follows:

I got a big file named "gcc-2.8.1-sol7-sparc-local" after using the gzip
to
unzip the file "gcc-2.8.1-sol7-sparc-local.gz" which I downloaded from
sunfreeware.com. I can not use "tar" to extract files from it, nor can I
excute it. I was expecting some excutable files been added to my file
system as it said the downloaded file includes pre-compiled GCC. Is
there anything wrong? How could I make use of this
file(gcc-2.8.1-sol7-sparc-local) to get the GNU C compiler?

I would greatly appreciate it if you could reply.
My email address is: liufeng@tp.edu.sg
Thanks in advance.

With my best regards,
Liu Feng,Edward

You should probably be able to find instructions about how to do it at
sunfreeware.com.  Anyway, gcc 2.8.1 is quite old and buggy, and not
the subject of this mailing list.  You'll probably a newer egcs
release, if it's available at sunfreeware.com.  If not, you may use
the gcc 2.8.1 downloaded from there to build egcs.

If he has no compiler, why would he have header files, or C libraries, or
as, or ld, or make, or...

These are part of a `developer' installation of Solaris7; it's only a
C compiler that's missing.

You didn't get this file from gcc.gnu.org, so we can't help you with
installing it.  You should look for instructions or ask for help at
the site from which you downloaded it.

Dear Sir / Madam,
 
Thanks a lot for your after-sales service. Now I have a 
problem such as,
 
I download "gcc-2.95.3-sol-sparc-local" to install into 
Solaris (Version) 7. In order to intall it, I did like that,
$pkgadd -d gcc-2.95.3-sol-sparc-local
 
I don't know how to do in the next step. When you are free, 
would you mind telling me how to creat c/C++ compriler environment?
 
Thanks a lot for your 
consideration!
