c compiler for gcc

[Daniel Seifert]

Hi everybody,

upon compiling gcc v3 i've come across the message that i need a c compiler
(cc) to do so.

logical, isn't it? But where can i get the cc ?

thanks in advance,

daniel

to build gcc you need a C compiler, some links to binary versions of
gcc for various platforms can be
found at:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/install/binaries.html

They might already have gcc3 for you, but if not, get an older one and
then build the new one with it

Depends on your OS. You didn't list it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, most UNIXen other than Solaris come with a
mini compiler (just enough to compile the kernel) which can actually
munge gcc enough for a bootstrap compile. So I'll *guess* you have
solaris and recommend http://www.sunfreeware.com/ for all your Solaris
binary needs. If you don't have solaris, next time mention what your OS
is when asking help about it.
