RE: Installing a cross compiler

["Jean-Sebastien Trottier" <jstrot at home dot com>]

Those files are tar'ed up versions of what I found on a solaris 2.8
system... I can't give you mine, there's are copyrights involved and a
lot of proprietary stuff from my company.

You have to get them yourself from /usr/include and /usr/lib on a *real*
solaris2.8 installed system.

Bonne chance!

Thank you for your reply.
Where are you find the content of /usr/include and /usr/lib from
solaris?
You have the files "sparc-sun-solaris2.8.lib.ta.bz2" and "sparc-sun-
solaris2.8.include.tar.bz2" in your script but I would know where
are you find these files

Yes, I don't use gcc 2.96. I try to make a cross-compiler with a
3.0.1 gcc version but the compilation failed too.
I think the 2.95.3 is the latest stable version.
