Re: help on SunOS4.1.3_U1

["'David Scott Urban" <urban at ast dot lmco dot com>]

Hi, 

I have compiled gcc 2.95.3 on a SunOS 4.1.3_U1 which is an ss10-32. I have 
binutils 2.8.1 installed since I have never been able to get gcc to build 
correctly with the Sun native as and ld. I used the following steps to build gcc 
(given for completeness):

gzcat gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz | tar xvf -
ln -s gcc-2.95.3 gcc
mkdir objdir
cd objdir 
../gcc/gcc/configure --help (not needed give list of options to configure)
../gcc/configure --prefix=/app/arch/freeware --with-gnu-as 
--with-as=/app/arch/freeware/bin/as --with-gnu-ld 
--with-ls=/app/arch/freeware/bin/ld --enable-haifa --disable-nls
gmake bootstrap
gmake check
gmake install

Hope this helps.

I used binutils 2.8.1 because that was what I had installed. I have not been 
able to get the newer 2.11.x or 2.12.x binutils to build correctly. I am going 
to try and build binutils 2.9.1.

I don't post much to here unless I can help someone. But, I do get tired of 
seeing responses such as below telling people they need to upgrade. This 
provides them no help whatsoever. If you are in a stuation like me. you may not 
have a choice of upgrading. We run Sun systems from SunOS4.1.3 to Solaris 2.8. 
We have COTS packages that mission critical that will not run on any other 
version than SunOS. I just want to keep the gcc products for our users on a 
level field.
