[withu]

Dear All,

I am trying to install few software like MIMEDEFANG & it's different module but not able to install any one...due to the

make compiler not working ...

Any suggestion ..
I am getting the following error :-

#make
/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed
error code 1
make:fatal error:command failed for target 'Base 64.0'


I HAVE INSTALLED GCC VER 3.3.2 THEN ALSO THIS IS NOT WORKING ..pL HELP ..I AM STRUGGLING FROM 2 DAYS !!!!!

WITH Best regards,
WITH U

Didyou link gcc to /usr/ucb/cc?

 

[withu]

u mean to say :-
#ln -s gcc /usr/ucb/cc

?

With best regards,
WithU

 

[withu]

when I used that command :

#ln -s gcc /usr/ucb/cc

It returned an error as :-
ln: cannot create /usr/ucb/cc:file exist !!

With best regards,
WITHU

 

[KenCunningham]

Suggest you rename /usr/ucb/cc to /usr/ucb/cc.old before doing the link. Then make the permissions to the link the same as those of the original. HTH.

 

[withu]

no success ...

After doing that above, Error messege was somewhat modified

sh: cc: not found ..

make:fatal error:command failed for target 'Base 64.0'

With regards,
WITHU

From an earlier thread contributed by Annihilanic (whatever happened to him?):

Use:

CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
export CC

... before you run configure.

HTH.

 

[withu]

I didn't get you ..Pl don't mind and let me know in detail.
gcc-3.3.2 is already installed on m/c

With best regards,
WITHU

there are many possible solutions:

1) link /usr/local/bin/gcc (or wherever your gcc resides) to /usr/ucb/cc
mv /usr/ucb/cc /usr/ucb/cc.save
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc

2) link gcc to cc in /usr/local/bin --> edit PATH!
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s gcc cc

3) edit ./configure or makefile to search for/use gcc instead of cc

4) edit PATH in .profile .cshrc .elsewhere to find gcc

Dear Franz,

I did follwoing NOTE I am using bash and there my path is /usr/sbin :-

1)
#mv /usr/ucb/cc /usr/ucb/cc.save
#ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc

2)
#cd /usr/local/bin
#ln -s gcc cc >>>>It gave error as this file exist so,
#mv cc cc.save1
#ln -s gcc cc

After this ,I didn't get what do u mean by the 3) point.

my .profile

#more .profile
stty istrip
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:/usr/ccs/bin/:/usr/sbin/:.
export PATH

After Going to directory for installation
--------------------------------------------------------
# make

cc: no input files
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so'

--------------------------------------------------------

I am really fed up .Added to this I downloaded & install the latest make for Sparc Sol9 and installed but no success till now :-((

You don't need to do any of this confusing crap. Just make sure that "gcc" is in your PATH, and it will all "just work".

 

[withu]

Dear Octorian,

I already mentioned what's the present PATH defined for me and as far as I can make out gcc is there ...

But still not able to succeed.

With best regards,
WITHU

 

[withu]

hi,

now after setting the environment CC as gcc or linking to gcc

cc -v shows as gcc-3.3.2 version

but then also I am not able to compile that file ...and it returns the same eror messege what I put up earlier :-(

make
cc -c -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -xO3 -xdepend -DVERSION=\"3.00\" -DXS_VERSION=\"3.00\" -KPIC -I/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE Base64.c
cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
cc: language depend not recognized
cc: Base64.c: linker input file unused because linking not done
Running Mkbootstrap for MIME::Base64 ()
chmod 644 Base64.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so
LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -G Base64.o -o blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so
cc: Base64.o: No such file or directory
cc: no input files
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.so'

 

[withu]

is it the problem with the perl version I am using to do

#perl Makefile.PL

Present version is 5.6.1 (with 44 patches installed)

 

[KenCunningham]

As far as I can see, you don't have the path to gcc in your PATH. You can set it with:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

As octorian noted above, this should 'just work'.

 

[withu]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your posting ..Now I was able to solve the problem with some sort of tweaking.
###############3
When perl is built on sun, the Configure script determines the name of the compiler and the options it wants, and records them in a module called Config.pm .
Later, when one build a module, this saved information is used to create the Makefile that will actually do the compile. Sun's "bundled" compiler wants
options like -xO3 and -KPIC, whereas gcc wants things like -O3 and -fPIC..... So, the conflict..


Thus,
after command > #perl Makefile.PL
results in Makefile and then edited the -KPIC option to resulting option as per gcc...

After 2 days of struggle at last it is over for time being no idea what next in offering..

With Best regards,
WITHU

Thanks again..
Pl reply to my SATAN problem ..

 

[KenCunningham]

Withu - thanks for posting the results of your endeavours, glad you sorted it and explained what you did in the end - something that doesn't always happen. For that reason, have a star. Sorry, know nothing about SATAN (though he probably does me!). Regards.
