problem configuring bind-9.3.0rc4 on Solaris8

[Atif Nadeem]

Thanks Brian,
Your suggestion fixed the error of ar. But now I am getting another
error:

no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

 

 

# ./configure -prefix=/bind-9.3.1

checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.9 checking host system
type... sparc-sun-solaris2.9 checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for a BSD-compatible install...

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See
`config.log' for more details.

 

Please help to fix the issue.

Regards
Atif

ar isn't in the path by default on Solaris 8.

 

ksh

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin

./configure

 

you may want to switch the order of ccs/bin and xpg4/bin on your own 

preference.  you may also want to do a bunch of other stuff before
running 

configure.  This should just make sure you get ar and a bunch of other 

needed stuff in your PATH, if it's installed on your system.
