GCC compiler problem 1

[manoslev]

Hello,

I was trying to configure a copy of gcc-3.4.3 in a SGI
workstation running Irix6.5 and got the following error message

*** The command '/usr/ucb/cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

My question is: How can I compile a C compiler when there is actually no compiler?

Simple answer, you cant. Get an irix gcc and go again.

. Mac for productivity
.. Linux for developement
... Windows for solitaire

To see what you need to install gcc,
