How to check compiler

[EBee]

How can I verify the type of c++ compiler is installed in our SunOs 5.8.

Our vendor wanted us to purchase new C++ compiler since they said that SunMicrosystems discontinued Sun Studio One 8 compiler. Sun now provides Sun Studio 9 or 10 which is compatible with Solaris 8,9, or 10. .

I need to verify version of C++ compiler

Thank you.

You can try to run command "which CC". Go to that directory and enter command "version CC".

which directory??

erwin@sacdev / $ cd bin
erwin@sacdev /bin $ which CC
no CC in /usr/bin . /etc /opt/SUNWvxva/bin /pbs/bin .
erwin@sacdev /bin $ cd ..
erwin@sacdev / $ cd etc
erwin@sacdev /etc $ which CC
no CC in /usr/bin . /etc /opt/SUNWvxva/bin /pbs/bin .
erwin@sacdev /etc $ version CC
ksh: version: not found
erwin@sacdev /etc $

I guess you don't have your sunstudio application in your set up in your environment PATH. Okay... Go to the bin directory under the sunstudio 8 home directory (Example: /home/sunstudio/bin)... Enter command "./version CC

Is it which CC (caps) or which cc and version CC or version cc?

 

[bfitzmai]

Yes it is CC (caps)... EBee is looking for the version of the c++ compiler in Sunstudio 8.
