Trying to ./configure mtools.

On screen I get:-

checking for gcc.....no
checking for cc....yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error:
C compiler cannot create executables
See 'config.log' for more details

And here is config.log:-

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

You don't have a compiler installed. /usr/ucb/cc can wrap a compiler
AFAIK. Get Sun Studio on Sun's website for free or download a gcc from
either blastwave.org or sunfreeware.com and adjust your PATH accordingly...

You will want to install Sun's C compiler or add the appropriate
directory to the front of $PATH (/opt/SUNWspro/bin).

If you dont;' have that directory, you need to download either Sun's
latest C compiler or gcc.

1. Download and install Sun Studio compilers
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/index.jsp

2. Get rid of /usr/ucb in your PATH; replace it with /opt/SUNWspro/bin

3. Add /usr/ccs/bin to the PATH as well.

$ env PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin ./configure

May need to set CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and other environment variables
per the docs and ./configure --help.

I've downloaded and installed gcc from sunfreeware now (and adjusted
the PATH) and it works fine now.

I wonder what the output of

$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -v

might be. If you installed the complete distribution you already had a
working C compiler on that system.

On Solaris 9? Really? I thought gcc was first included in Solaris 10 FCS...

Well, shoot. My brain is fading again. I guess that I had installed it
from the Companion CD.
