Very Computer

hi all,

  this is my first attempt at an apache install and i get the following
after i run make.

unix> make
===> src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/local/apache_1.3.26'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/local/apache_1.3.26/src'
===> src/os/unix
rm -f libos.a
ar cr libos.a os.o os-inline.o
make[3]: ar: Command not found
make[3]: *** [libos.a] Error 127
make[2]: *** [subdirs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/local/apache_1.3.26/src'
make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/local/apache_1.3.26'
make: *** [build] Error 2

i am using gcc version

unix> gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

on a solaris 5.8 machine with all the latest patches.

i have no idea what "ar" is, am i missing something?

thx in advance, -simon-

Yes. You are missing 'ar'.

$ pkgchk -l -p `which ar`

Hope it helps,

A bookmark to a Solaris FAQ.. ftp://ftp.wins.uva.nl/pub/solaris
Try "man ar". "man" is your friend.
Go to Google and type: "ar: Command not found". Google is chummy too.
Use pkgchk -l -p /usr/ccs/bin/ar - checks if "ar" is installed
or partially installed.
Check your PATH statement (echo $PATH). /usr/xpg4/bin has a POSIX make
so put it up front.
Example - PATH=/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
If using GNU make from a package I would rename it to gmake.

that was it. i also had to rename make to gmake as you said and use that as
part of the install as /usr/ccs/bin had a different version of make in it
and the install script needed to use the gnu version. great! i feel like i'm
starting to get a handle on this installation stuff.

thx

PATH=/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

Fine. One last 'tip' - "gmake MAKE=gmake" might come in handy sometimes...

hmm, is that a shell you are suggesting i set in my .cshrc or a var in the
install script (or something else??)
