Hello,

Can you recommend the most reputatble source to purchase GNU\open source tools CD's for Solaris 8\9 (like gcc etc.)?

I am hoping to find a vendor to ship them to me at regular intervals (rather than downloading the tools).

Thanks,

Michael42

I believe these are available from Sun. When you get a Solaris distribution, all of the GNU stuff is usually in the package on a CD labeled "Solaris Software Companion", or something like that. It's all compiled and installs very cleanly, no tweaking to do to make it all work. I believe you can get just this disk from Sun. It's probably also a free download from Sun.
