Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I'm completely stuck in my attempt to install GNU make. I'm installing (well, trying to |->) the "basic" GNU stuff (gcc, bash, make, bintools, etc) on a Sparcstation 10 running Solaris 2.3. I've gotten and installed the compiled binaries for gcc 2.5.6 and gzip, and have the source unpacked for GNU make, which I need to compile bash (or anything else). The docs for make say to run 'sh build.sh', but when I do, it complains that I don't have as. I've installed all the packages off the Solaris CD-ROM that the docs said I needed to, but the one that the docs said would contain as didn't. I've gotten the source for the binutils package which contains as, but in order to compile it I need make, which I can't compile without as. Catch-22. I'm stuck at this point until I can find a pre-compiled SPARC as somewhere. Anyone know where one might be found? Alternatively, is there something I missed somewhere in the installation of gcc or make or anything else? Thanks for any help. -- ************ Jon Taylor ************************************************* * "For something that has spread with all the forethought of kudzu, the * * Internet isn't half bad." - Newsweek, 2/27/95 ************************* ************************************ taylorj@gaia.ecs.csus.edu **********
