RE: Solaris 8 compilation errors _OUTPUT

Hi John,

It can't find one of the header files it needs to compile that file. I
looked around and cannot find the header containing the definition of
va_args anywhere -- these developers will know.

Did you download gcc for Solaris 8 as a binary or package?
If so,
Bad idea -- and here's why: I had always downloaded the Solaris 7 binary
for gcc. The problem is the libraries "they" used to make that version of
gcc most likely don't match your machine at all. What you gotta do is:

1. download a gcc for sol 8.
2. download the sources for gcc (yea they're huge)
3. compile gcc using the binary/package you downloaded.
4. install the new freshly compiled version

Sure as sh*ttin', everything works after that (compiler wise). Also for
some reason, I have trouble compiling things a lot of the time if I'm logged
in as root, but not as a reg user (with gcc). So usually I compile as a
regular user, then run the gmake install as root.

OH -- make sure you are using gmake instead of distributed make. That can
make a huge difference.

Hope this helps -- I'll be compiling 7.1 for solaris 8 thursday on a new box
(with gcc and sun c both) so I could help out with that if u can wait and
are interested in 7.1

L8r,
George Johnson
