Hi,
I have Solaris 9 X86 for my desktop PC and when I am trying to compile Xchat 2.4.1 from source code, I a getting the following error.
================
bash-2.05$ make
make all-recursive

=====================

I can succesfully do configure but problem compiling it. Can anyone help me what's wrong with it?

thanks in advance,
S

Looks like you don't have the ar command, which is used to create library files. Do you have all of the development tools installed?

No, I am sure that I don't have all of the library tools needed. I've installed some but not exactly sure what is the package needed for getting the 'ar' command working properly. Can you please help me know what are all the library tools needed?


thnks,
S

The package containing ar (/usr/ccs/bin/ar) is SUNWbtool.
Perhaps is it just you need to add /usr/ccs/bin in your PATH.
