GCC install

well, i know wich GCC can be download by Manager package, easy!
but I want install gcc "whith myself hands"
I have gcc .tar and i cant install by console.
after comand $make: erro
ok! i dont have compiler, but i want install gcc!

sorry my english...

Try /usr/ccs/bin/make
Or possibly /usr/xpg4/bin/make

If it still doesn't work, post the exact error and we can have another try :slight_smile:

May be am I missing something but this looks pointless. How would you compile gcc without a compiler already installed ?

GCC comes with a simplistic bootstrap compiler, no problem there, but it's way easier if you have a local copy of 'make' (which thankfully Solaris does even without a real compiler) to build the commandline correctly.

Can you give more information/pointers to documentation about that simplistic bootstrap compiler that is included in your tar file ? Where did you get that tar file ?

I do download GCC-3.0.4.tar.gz
open console:
i give command su,after i use the command cd /export/home/hyago/Desktop
how to unpack of the correct way? and install?
I can unpack but when i write make
i need step by step.first experience with UNIX, i use Ubuntu and Debian and Windows(hehe!).

sorry my english
I have 15 years old, and in high school they do not teach English of truth 8(.

There is no bootstrap compiler included in that tar.gz file. I'm afraid you misunderstand how bootstrapping gcc works.
