Hi,

I'm having a similar problem. I've found a compiler (GCC), but since I
don't have a C++ compiler on my SparcStation, I can't compile it. Does
anybody know where I can snag a sparc-binary of GCC?

Thanks,

Robert

gcc/g++ or egcs plus GNU libstdc++ may be what you are looking
for (egcs is derived from gcc). They are source code freeware.
However, you need a compiler to compile them. There are precompiled
gcc bundles from which you can then recompile gcc/g++ or egcs
from the source code (and then compile the GNU libstdc++ for the
libraries).

http://www.sunfreeware.com may be able to help you with the
precompiled gcc bundles. See ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu
for gcc/g++ and http://www.cygnus.com for egcs.

just grab a pre-compiled package from

www.sunfreeware.com

and install it.

Note that if you get gcc-2.8.1 you will need libstdc++-2.8.1, not
libg++-2.8.1.
