www.sunfreeware.com

Which gcc package? Generally 2.95.3 seems to bootstrap gcc 3.x
OK although Im building gcc-3.4 with gcc-3.3.3 with no difficulties
right now. No wait see below.

So far the only prerequisite for the build seems
to be "gmake".

Well it shouldnt be incomplete. Its defined in sys/ieeefp.h

One other thing - maybe its the mirror I picked - but the zlib tree
was missing in my .bz2 file..

well, after two days of these problems, i re-installed solaris 9 with
Entire Disrt. and OEM
then 9 recommended patches

then all this:

libiconv-1.8-sol9-sparc-local
gcc-3.4.0-sol9-sparc-local
tar-1.13.94-sol9-sparc-local
glib-1.2.10-sol9-sparc-local
m4-1.4-sol9-sparc-local
make-3.80-sol9-sparc-local
flex-2.5.31-sol9-sparc-local.gz
coreutils-4.5.4-sol9-sparc-local
libtool-1.5-sol9-sparc-local
ncurses-5.3-sol9-sparc-local
libpng-1.2.4-sol9-sparc-local
jpeg-6b-sol9-sparc-local
freetype-2.1.2-sol9-sparc-local
libgcc-3.3-sol9-sparc-local


NOW , i try to compile gcc-2.95.3 and NO luck

here what happen during make ( what you see is the lat part ) --->


gcc -c  -DIN_GCC -DSVR4  -g -O2     -I. -I.. -I. -I./.. -I./../config
-I./../../include decl.c
decl.c: In function `start_struct':
decl.c:4451: error: argument "code" doesn't match prototype
ch-tree.h:736: error: prototype declaration
make[2]: *** [decl.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/extra/src/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/ch'
make[1]: *** [cc1chill] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/extra/src/gcc-2.95.3/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2



I'm almost giving up on solaris 9 and want to go back to solaris 8.

help please.

I have no answers for you here, but I have to ask: Why do you need
gcc-3.4.0 so badly? Is there anything that 3.3.x is missing, that
really necessitates going up a version?

Just curious,
