Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Sun Solaris
SYMPTOM(s):
Using any C compiler other than the supported C compiler is not recommended.
CAUSE:
When a customer runs PROBUILD, the generated link script contains usage of the C compiler (cc). It used to be bundled with the OS but now some vendors are making it optional so some customers may not have it (those not doing ESQL but just using PROBUILD to customize for a DataServer or Networking are likely to not have it).
FIX:
We have found on SOLARIS when no c compiler is included, there is a gcc utility which can be used. On our machine this is located in /tools/solaris/bin. To use this users just edit the link script generated by PROBUILD and change the CC line to be CC=gcc (and be sure to have where gcc lives in the UNIX PATH).
