TOPIC: USING GCC TO COMPILE TEX ON SPARC-LS RUNNING SOLARIES 2.1


Dear netters and gcc experts,


   
       I have recently acquired a Sun-Sparc LX.  The operating system is Solaries 2.1.
I have been desparately looking for the TeX package to install on this machine. I have
found little. Can you please help me ?


   I have been told that I may have to get the original codes for TeX and compile them
on this machine using gcc. Is this true ?  Has anypne out there done this and could share a
tar file with the binaries.  Has anyone seen such tar file on an anonymous ftp site ?


   Any suggestions you may have would be most appreciated. Please send your response
to:


     ramezani@cyrus.famres.wisc.edu

  I will happily summarize and post for the benefit of other users. I will also
place the summary with some of the major ftp sites.


Thanks,


Cyrus.
