Solaris and Gcc

[kallador]

ok i have gcc installed and all on the solaris box, running Solaris 8 Beta Refresh, witch i never ran into this problem with linux before

gcc cannot create executables ? is the error i get when i try to compile anything.
i also get this with my MacOSx Final witch i cannot figure it out actualy.

i am fairly new to solaris but i am learning though.it's a bit differnt then Linux.

What is the error message? I had a problem like that because the assembler wasnt in the path.

Is gcc in your path? Where did you get gcc from? If you go to http://sunfreeware.com, you can download the package of gcc, and install it. Append your path, and you should be ok.

When I installed gcc I ended up having to make a link called "cc" that pointed to it (or in one case I just renamed it to "cc").
No matter what you do it seems like the system looks for "cc", which almost always screws up when trying to compile.

ok well for one. /usr/bin/gcc
and /usr/bin/cc
are both there just i still get that error
C compiler cannot create executables


next is sunfreeware.com was it? well i wasn't able to download crap from there :/ then i try the ftp, witch keeps closing when barly logining in so i dunno.

i am an idiot heh anyhow i figured it out.
it's not hard actualy just to add the path names.
like so
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
etc..
then export PATH
witch is nearly the same way as in linux in witch i cannot beleave i forgot this command :/
