Greetings,

I am trying to install gcc from pkgsrc, with little success. The C and C++ compilers look like they where installed, after editing the Makefile to remove gcc-java, fortran, and objectiveC. However, the compilers were put in directory:
/usr/pkg/gcc3/bin/
not in:
/usr/pkg/bin/
as per:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/using.html

<BLOCKQUOTE>
After you've installed packages, be sure to have /usr/pkg/bin in your PATH so you can actually start the just installed program.

I can make symlinks to get installed packages in subdirectories to work, but it defeats the purpose of usuing a package managment system.  If I am required to add a new path element each time I add a new package, then, I can use gnu stow to manage the symlinks, but this creates another layer of administrative dificulty to manage.

This is a record of what looks like a sucsessful installation of C and C++ after removing the languages that did not install. The method I used to do this was:
1) get gcc and iconv from  sunfreeware. I did this because the recommeneded bootstrap and install of gcc in binary form was denied:

2) get the solaris bootstrap kit. Are you guys aware that a bogus version of the pkgsrc material is in circulation?   I started this project by installing pkgsrc from this site:
http://solarpack.sourceforge.net/

the howto and the repositories are out of date and in one case give conflicting advice with the official site. it is now (I think) correctly configured (see below for environment variables).

3)  edit Makefile

4) run make install

This is what happens when I try to run bmake install in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/gcc3 (with the default Makefile)


checking for iconv... yes
checking for iconv declaration...
         extern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, const char * *inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

I installed iconv by bmake install in /usr/pkgsrc/converters/libiconv
