The solaris FAQ says:
6.2) Which packages do I need to install to support a C compiler?
Solaris ships with everything you need, with the exception of the
compiler itself. Solaris ships with the include files, make, an
assembler, linker and libraries. All this stuff lives in
/usr/ccs/bin (add it to your PATH before /usr/ucb if that's in your
PATH as well) /usr/ccs/lib and /usr/include.
If you still can't find it, make sure you have the following
packages installed on your system:
for tools (sccs, lex, yacc, make, nm, truss, ld, as):
SUNWbtool, SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo
for libraries & headers:
SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm, SUNWlibms
SUNWdfbh, SUNWcg6h, SUNWxwinc, SUNWolinc,
SUNWxglh
for 64 bit development:
SUNWarcx, SUNWbtoox, SUNWdplx, SUNWscpux, SUNWsprox,
SUNWtoox, SUNWlmsx, SUNWlmx, SUNWlibCx
for ucb compat:
SUNWsra, SUNWsrh
These packages are all on the Solaris 2.x CDs, except that some
packages may only exist in some releases and not in others.
Some packages may be on separate CDs, such as the "Desktop/CDE"
CD, but all are part of the Solaris "bundle".

1. Where is /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o and others in Solaris 2.1 ?
Help !
After installing Solaris 2.1 and GCC (cygnus-2.2.4 release from the prime-time
freeware cdrom) I could compile but not link C programs !
GCC seems to need the following files, which are NOT included in Solaris 2.1
(yes, i have searched all the pkgmap files on the Solaris 2.1 distribution
cdrom without success, these files just aren't distributed anymore):
/usr/ccs/lib/values-Xc.o
/usr/ccs/lib/values-Xt.o
/usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o
The good thing is, GCC and the Solaris Linker (I haven't used GNU-ld) don't
depend on these files. According to 'config/svr4.h' in the GNU-C Distribution,
these files define a global variable '_lib_version' with special (magic :-)
values to define if the (dynamically linked) library is to behave Ansi-like
or not. I think this isn't true anymore ?!
The solution was to create an empty file named 'values-Xa.c' and compile it
with 'gcc -c'. Copying the resulting file 'values-Xa.o' to /usr/ccs/lib
keeps the linker happy and everything works fine.
But is this the correct way ?? Can anybody confirm/deny this solution ?
Thanks for any help !
