Compiling on Solaris OE v9

[williamu]

Hi All,

Well I know I'm not the brightest person in the world but I've just recently aquired an old Ultra1 and I wanted to install Pine on it. But since I needed SSL support I ran in to a problem of not having the headers. When installing new software on *nix macines I always like to compile them but this Sun is new to me and I'm confused.

I want to install OpenSSL and other stuff on the machine but configure reports that make is missing. I assume that it's on one of the 3 CDs but I don't know how to re-run the application installer that I used when I installed the OS. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

It's much easier to install the precompiled binaries from

http://www.sunfreeware.com.

Thanks Annihilannic, but I'd still rather compile from source, as I feel comfortable with that way.

You'll find make in /usr/ccs/bin, although you may need to install the GNU make as it's required by a lot of freeware. Annihilannic.

Hi,

Typical me, didn't quite explain myself correctly. When I installed OE v9 an form was presented to me that allowed me to install some of the accompanying applications from the CD. So, I don't have to ftp everything from source I'd like to re-run this "installer" and select the developer options to install the appropriate headers and sources, does anyone know how this can be done?

Hmm, with only the sun tools youre not comming very far
what you need to do is download the freeware cd from solaris
and add a few packages from there
ass far as I know you cant run the installer again unless you do A upgrade
or you could manualy add the packages from the cd
to do this you could do the following
mkdir /cdrom
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom
cd /cdrom/Solaris_9/Product
now you can add the packages you need with pkgadd -d . "packagename"

Hi,

I've done all this with the companion CD, but when I tried to install an upgrade to automake I get an "out of processes" message repeated 1000s of times!
