Re: Request for information on configuring GCC 2.95.2

[Vaughn Sasse <vsasse at home dot com>]

Thank you to all who responded to my earlier query regarding building a
2.95.2 gcc for Solaris 7. I was able to use a gcc release 2.8.1 release
for Solaris 2.6 which installed in /opt to bootstrap myself up for both
Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7. I then built new versions explicitly for
Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6 and 7. Then, front ended them with a brief 'wrapper'
script to handle the OS dependencies. I am supporting some engineers
using the Opnet modeling product and wish to move them forward with a
newer, consistent compiler support. The new Opnet release 7.0.B requires
Solaris 2.6 minimum. They have been using gcc 2.7.2.3 with the older
Opnet release 6.0.L.

Now, the next question regards the inability of my new compiler to find
/usr/lib/libCrun.so.1 at link/edit time. I have installed Sun patch
105591-09 for Solaris 2.6 and the patch pair 106327-08/106300-09 for
Solaris 7 (32 and 64 bit support).

At 'bind' or 'link/edit' time, I get a failure to resolve a symbol which
should be in libCrun, but gcc does not handle it.

Is there something I did not configure properly in the gcc build? Is
there a problem with gcc header files/libraries being built to properly
reference the Sun dynamic library set?

I would appreciate a brief bit of direction if you could. Please respond
to this address and vaughn.sasse@motorola.com if possible.

Thanks in advance!
