Hi,

We have recenltly installed Solaris 10, it doesn't seem to have a C 
compiler.

Is this right ?

Can we install a C compiler from the dist CD's ?

Or do we need to get gcc and install that ?

TIA

Tim

A full install has /usr/sfw/bin/gcc

gcc is provided; the free Sun compiler can be downloaded from
www.sun.com.  (Pick downloads, Developer tools, Sun Studio 11)

No.  Gcc is installed in /usr/sfw.

But I would recommend you download and install SUn's Studio 11.  It produces
better code than gcc, has more powerful tools, and is free.

These sorts of wordy disclaimers are a meaningless waste of bandwidth.

.... and is also a hell of a lot bloody quicker !
I only found out last week that Sun are giving this as a free download 
and since using it have noticed a distinct lack of compilation errors !
After a nightmare free week I realise I would gladly pay for it !

Rich Teer, of course, is noted for his technical work on compilers...

hmm - sounds like you've noticed Sun's compilers noted lack of error checking.
(you'll fit in well with the opensolaris groupies).

Care to elaborate?  If anything, Sun CC is too pedantic.

The thread's about cc, not CC.

Sun CC diagnostics are (comparing with other C++ compilers) in the middle of
the pack.
