Hello, while building the GPC for sun sparc solaris 2.6(native) the following messages are seen with 'configure' command
checking for working autoconf missing checking for working automake missing checking for working xgettext missing checking for working bison missing
will it any way cause problem in building the compiler ? As building of each of these tools requires lot of time, can i get executables for sparc solaris anywhere ? Any other alternative ? please suggest me.
thanks and regards hari

I would think so. In particular there might be problems building the RTS.

Your best bet is to get the sources and build them. Autoconf, automake and bison should build very quickly (less than a minute for each). Xgettext may take some time to build - but it is better for you to build these things on your own system.

If you got the complete source distribution (.tar.gz), rather than the CVS snapshot, you should not need autoconf, automake and bison since the files generated by them are already included. I'm not sure about xgettext; AFAIK, GPC doesn't need it at all, so perhaps it's needed by GCC ...

In the days when I didn't have a working bison, "make" used to die an unceremonious death, complaining about "bison.hairy" and "bison.simple". If you just try moving those files to the "wrong" place, I think that you would probably encounter this problem too. I can't remember though what stage the build had got to before the errors (it was probably very early - perhaps while building gcc).
