Which compiler is used

[Cai Nan]

Hi,all.
Because lack of Bind-9.2.0.depot, I want to configure and compile from the source.in /Bind-9.2.0, I ./configure,from the output ,no error.
But when I make,it shows me following error:
*****************************************(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The -A option is available only with the C/ANSI C product; ignored.
(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The -z option is available only with the C/ANSI C product; ignored.

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1
It seems the error is caused by using wrong C compiler , I have gcc2.95.2 in HP10.20,but the parameter"CC=gcc" should be used in ./configure or make?

Thanks!

Hi,

What is shown when you type:

# ll /usr/bin/cc

Is it a softlink to gcc or ansi-c? You can either update the soft-link or hardcode the pathname of the compiler into the Makefile.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

Since the compilation is expecting Ansi-C, try compiling with flags CC=cc and check that the following soft-link exists:

# ll /usr/bin/cc
lr-xr-xr-t 1 root sys 17 Mar 22 2000 /usr/bin/cc -> /opt/ansic/bin/cc

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,Steven.
Glad to meet you again.
when I type ll /usr/bin/cc,it shows:
lr-xr-xr-t 1 root sys 15 Apr 10 2000 /usr/bin/cc -> /usr/ccs/bin/cc.
My gcc was installed at :/opt/gcc/bin/gcc,
did you mean:ln /usr/bin/cc /opt/gcc/bin/gcc?
Or you mean make change directly in /bind-9.2.0/Makefile?

Thanks

Hi

The problem is most likely due to an incorrect path set. Here are
some commands to use to check:

# whence -v cc
cc is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/cc

# cd /usr/bin

# ll cc
lr-xr-xr-t 1 root sys 17 Mar 2 01:34 cc ->
/opt/ansic/bin/cc

# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/ansic/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:
/opt/nettladm/bin:/opt/fc/bin:/opt/fcms/bin:/opt/upgrade/bin:
/opt/pd/bin:/usr/contrib/bin/X11:/usr/bin/X11:/opt/hparray/bin:
/opt/omni/bin:/opt/perf/bin:/opt/OV/bin/OpC:/opt/langtools/bin:
/opt/imake/bin:/opt/p4:/sbin:/home/root:/usr/local/bin:
/opt/OV/bin:/opt/omni/bin:/opt/omni/sbin:/opt/omni/lbin

The script was not able to find the compiler; this is usually due
to the path not being set in $PATH.


Put your compiler first in the path may be enough

Hi,

If you don't have Ansi/C installed, no harm giving it a try. Anyway, I notice that those Ansi/C messages are just warning messages which can likely be safe ignored.

# rm /usr/bin/cc
# ln -s /opt/gcc/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

The default CC compiler provided by HP-UX /usr/ccs/bin/cc doesn't work with most of the source compilations out there. It is good to link anyway.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,
I found in our system , it haven't ansic,could gcc be instead of ansic?
If couldn't,is HP have ansic depot file,or where could I download?

Thanks

Hi,

The compiler being used is very likely the primitive C compiler currently running on your system ie. /usr/ccs/bin/cc because notice the words in the warning messages:

(bundled) cc: ...

Ansi/C needs to be purchased. Anyway, GCC is good enough. Try to see if setting your PATH works (as what Steve suggested):

# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gcc/bin

If not, then remove the softlink and create it:

# rm /usr/bin/cc
# ln -s /opt/gcc/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

When you run your ./configure, what is the output when it reaches this statement:

checking for gcc...

Is it:

checking for gcc... gcc

Hope this helps. Regards.

Steven Sim Kok Leong

[Cai Nan]

Hi,Steven.
./configure result:
************************
checking for gcc... cc

But this time it seems "make"a lot of thing,at end it show following:
*****************************************
cc: CDEFINES: No such file or directory
cc: =: No such file or directory
dst_api.c: In function `dst__file_addsuffix':
dst_api.c:1084: warning: implicit declaration of function `snprintf'

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

It seems also related to CC,right?

Thanks

Hi,

>> checking for gcc... cc

Since most of the compilation has gone through, I gather that you have already soft-linked /opt/gcc/bin/gcc to /usr/bin/cc?

With regards to this error, unless anyone in the forum knows what causes it, I would suggest that you post the compilation errors to the newsgroup for BIND (visit the website) since they have successfully tested the compilation on HP-UX 11.00.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,Steven.
Thank you again for your help.
With compiler GCC, I almost sucess in building bind-9.2.0.
