Would anyone else thing that changing the default cc to gcc for Solaris?

Not only is Sparcworks not open source but it is also frightfully
expensive. I was just reminded of this today while doing a number of
different installs.

Just a thought.

I would like the default cc for the Solaris platform in Configure to be gcc as opposed to the current cc [Sparcworks $$$] Since gcc is free and open source whereas Sparcworks is commercial and frightfully expensive, it would seem more in the spirit of the community. e.
Russ Allbery: It might be a good idea. However, keep in mind that getting gcc working correctly on Solaris 7 is somewhat non-trivial at the current time. See the gcc install pages at: I always use gcc to build Perl on Solaris, though. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
Uri Guttman: H> I would like the default cc for the Solaris platform in Configure to be H> gcc as opposed to the current cc [Sparcworks $$$] a trick i use is to link (sym or hard) cc to gcc in /usr/local/bin. i got tired of all the other open source programs which don't use configure (xmkmf SUX!) and then they choose cc. this way i never need to say CC=gcc and i get easy builds. uri -- Uri Guttman ----------------- SYStems ARCHitecture and Software Engineering uri@sysarch.com ---------------------------
