This didn't seem to make it to the list the first time so let's try again. BTW is anybody else receiving each mail twice from the list?
I am getting the same error message "configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling". I think this a simple PATH issue where basic functions such as sprintf are not found. I was able to compile mysql on solaris 7 without any problems but having trouble compiling ANYTHING on solaris 8 therefore it doesn't look like a mysql issue. Everything seems to fail with basic C functions not being found. I tried various things to solve this with no avail: 1 moving the path to gcc in front of /usr/ccs/bin thinking it may be a conflict between the two compilers. 2 set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to various things. 3 make LD_LIBRARY_PATH part of PATH in hopes it would help configure find what it's looking for. I'm doing this on a new Netra X1 box with the pre installed Solaris 8 version on top of which I installed gcc-2.95.3-sol8-sparc-local and make-3.79.1-sol8-sparc-local builds. I'm thinking of compiling gcc with the native compiler but I don't know where to tell configure which compiler to use (I attempted this by trying to change $PATH) and I don't want to uninstall the native one before I have success with gcc. The development packages installed are: SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWsprot SUNWlibm. Is something missing here? It would be helpful to hear from someone who has successfully compiled on solaris8 or how to modify configure. Sorry about the lengthy post but I wanted to include all pertinent info. I'm cross posting this to both mysql lists to reach a wider audience. Thanks in advance. George P.S. The solaris8 build of mysql works fine.
