Solaris doesn't come with a c compilier... My suggestion is to go to

http://www.sunfreeware.com

and download the gcc compilier. It's free!!!. Modify your makefile to use the gcc compilier.

Yes, gcc is usually sufficient for most requirements. You can also alias cc to it so that the system 'thinks' it is using cc when in fact it's using gcc. HTH.
