gcc on Solaris
 

I have Solaris 9 installed on my Ultra Sparc 10 Workstation and would like to install gcc on the box.

Has anyone on here done this before? Any pointers?

I would also like to be able to install OpenSSH as well. Is gcc on one of the Software Disks or OpenSSH?

TIA

Check out this site which has tons of free software for Solaris: http://www.sunfreeware.com/

Thanks man

SSH is available in the media kit; however, I'm not sure about gcc. If it is, it would probably be on disk 2.

Would it also be availabe through the Solaris 9 download on Disk 1 or Disk 2?

What is the package name I should look for?

TIA

Hi,
The pakage name of is SFWgcc.
And it is on the "Solaris Software Companion CD".
SSH is installed by default.

cwolf:

Is sshd installed as well? If it is, it isn't running and I would like to use it instead of Telnet.

There's a lot of stuff I need to learn. I'm pretty good at Linux but I'm just a newb when it comes to Solaris.

I'm assuming a lot of this stuff can be done with the admintool. My biggest concern is doing this all by command line and not GUI.

TIA

Do a "pkginfo -l | grep -i ssh"
It should be installed by default.
The admintool is very good for User/Group and Printer-Management.
You can also do many things with the Solaris Management Console which I avoid to use ;)
In my oppinion Solaris is best administrated using the cmd-line :)
