@c Please use Solaris 2 to refer to all release of Solaris, starting
@c with 2.0 until 2.6, 7, and 8. Solaris 1 was a marketing name for
@c SunOS 4 releases which we don't use to avoid confusion. Solaris
@c alone is too unspecific and must be avoided.

Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install
GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see our
@uref{binaries.html,,binaries page} for details.

Another possibility that sometimes helps is to remove

Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these
packages are needed to use GCC fully, namely @code{SUNWarc},
@code{SUNWbtool}, @code{SUNWesu}, @code{SUNWhea}, @code{SUNWlibm},
@code{SUNWsprot}, and @code{SUNWtoo}. If you did not install all
optional packages when installing Solaris, you will need to verify that
optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that
the packages that GCC needs are installed.
To check whether an optional package is installed, use
the @command{pkginfo} command. To add an optional package, use the
@command{pkgadd} command. For further details, see the Solaris
@command{pkgadd} command. For further details, see the Solaris 2
documentation.
On some versions of Solaris, trying to use the linker and other tools in
Trying to use the linker and other tools in
@file{/usr/ucb} to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble.
For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove
@file{/usr/ucb} from your @code{PATH}.
@file{/usr/ucb} from your @env{PATH}.
All releases of GNU binutils prior to 2.11.2 have known bugs on this
platform. We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.11.2 or the vendor
tools (Sun @command{as}, Sun @command{ld}).
Unfortunately, C++ shared libraries, including @samp{libstdc++}, won't work
properly if assembled with Sun @command{as}: the linker will complain about
relocations in read-only sections, in the definition of virtual
tables. Also, Sun @command{as} fails to process long symbols resulting from
mangling template-heavy C++ function names.
Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or
newer: @command{g++} will complain that types are missing. These headers assume
that omitting the type means @code{int}; this assumption worked for C89 but
is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also.
@command{g++} accepts such (illegal) constructs with the option
@option{-fpermissive}; it
will assume that any missing type is @code{int} (as defined by C89).
There are patches for Solaris 2.6 (105633-56 or newer for SPARC,
106248-42 or newer for Intel), Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC,
108377-20 for Intel), and Solaris 8 (108652-24 or newer for SPARC,
108653-22 for Intel) that fix this bug.
