Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ. Note the themes: - run fixincludes - run fixincludes correctly - don't use GNU as or GNU ld Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing. Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting people. Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4. The latest Solaris 2 FAQ can be found in the following locations: rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.sys.sun.admin ftp.fwi.uva.nl:/pub/solaris Perl5 comes with a script in the top-level directory called "myconfig" which will print a summary of the configuration in your config.sh. My summary for Solaris 2.4 and gcc 2.6.3 follows. I have also built with gcc 2.7.0 and the results are identical. This configuration was generated with Configure's -d option (take all defaults, don't bother prompting me). All tests pass for Perl5.001, patch.1m.

Dik - Network Security Engineer) Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48 Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT 5.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined? You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files out of the way and moving them back again later. This often happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution. If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead. Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.'' 6.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one? [...] 3) Gcc. Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and use that to bootstrap gcc from source. [...] When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x. 6.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run. Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may already have. First you must make sure Configure and make don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc) Some questions need a special answer. Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling conventions, same as Sun's C. Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__ -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__ Remove /usr/ucbinclude. Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl -lm Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb. Perl 5 compiled out of the box. End_of_Solaris_Notes
